It is news that the water level of the Han River is gradually lowering as the rain has subsided in the Seoul metropolitan area, including Seoul. Connect with reporters at Jamsu Bridge in Seoul.

Reporter Park Jae-hyun, how is the situation right now?

Yes, it has been raining again on the Jamsu Bridge where I am out.

Yesterday (the 7th), a road sign that was completely submerged has reappeared as you can see behind me now, but the traffic is expected to take a few more days as there is an additional rain news in the central region.

The water level of Jamsu Bridge, which once exceeded 11.5 meters, went down to 7.3 meters this morning.

However, the water level started to rise again around 9:30 a.m. and is now about 7.5 meters high.

Major roads in Seoul, such as Gangbyeonbuk-ro, Inner Ring Road, and Dongbu Arterial Road, resumed traffic yesterday as the water level went down below the lowest point of each road.

Vehicles have been reopened after 4:20 am today on the upper and lower streams of Yeoui on the Olympic Road, where vehicle operation was controlled.

The places where traffic is still restricted are near Gaehwa Yukgapmun, which is the path from Olympic-daero to Gaehwa-dong and Banghwa-dong, Gangseo-gu, and here Jamsu Bridge.

As the rain in the metropolitan area went down for a while, the amount of discharge to the Paldang Dam decreased, and the Paldang Dam currently discharges a little over 8,000 tons of water per second.

Rescue authorities started the search from 6 am at the site of the Gangwon Uiamho accident, where five people were missing, and from 11 o'clock, a little while ago, 33 civilian ships were also engaged to continue the search.

Today, the policy is to look at the entire section to Paldang Dam.
