Let's look at the situation in Seoul this time. As the rainy season front goes north, it is raining again in Seoul. Connect with reporters at Jamsu Bridge in Seoul.

Reporter Han So-hee, the water level of the Jamsu Bridge in the background seems to have decreased a lot, but what is the current situation?

<Reporter>

Yes, at Jamsu Bridge where I am out, it rained and stopped repeatedly overnight, but it has been raining again from 5 am, about an hour ago.

The water level of the Jamsu Bridge, which once exceeded 11.5 meters, which is about the level of the river filling up to where I am standing, is now 6.85 meters.

As you can see behind me, the contours of the submersible bridge are revealed, so you can identify the bottom of the driveway.

However, it is raining continuously in the metropolitan area and a lot of rain of up to 500mm is forecast in the metropolitan area until the day after tomorrow (the 11th), so it will take some time for the passage of the submersible bridge to become possible.

As the water level went down, most of the road controls that had caused severe traffic jams in downtown Seoul until yesterday were lifted.

Major roads in Seoul, such as Olympic Highway, Gangbyeonbuk-ro, and Dongbu Arterial Road, resumed traffic one after another.

With heavy rain forecast in the central region until the day after tomorrow, Seoul City issued the second stage of disaster countermeasures from 10:30 last night and began working as an emergency.

Access to rivers such as Jungnangcheon was re-controlled, and trails such as Yongmasan were closed due to concerns about landslides.

Underground parking lots where flooding is expected or buildings in low areas should be prepared so that they do not suffer damage by stacking clapboards or sandbags.
