Let's take a look at the traffic situation on the way to work.

As the water level of the Han River gradually decreased, all restrictions on the Olympic Road were lifted.

However, there are still areas that are controlled.

We connect reporters who are out on Jamsu Bridge in Seoul.



Reporter Suwon-wook Suwon, is the water level lowering a bit?



<Reporter>



Yes, it is on the Han River Jamsu Bridge.



The Jamsu Bridge is still submerged for the fifth day.



However, the water level is gradually lowering.



Yesterday (11th) at 11:30 pm, the water level here at Jamsu Bridge was 8.43 meters, and now it is 7.39 meters as of 6:30 in the morning.



It's been running out of water little by little for 6 hours.



This is because the discharge amount of Paldang Dam, which has the greatest impact on the water level of the Han River in Seoul, is gradually decreasing. Last night alone, the discharge amount exceeded 10,000 tons, but now it is maintained at 7,000 to 8,000 tons per second.



The Soyang River Dam has also been released for the first time in two years, but the current discharge amount is about 600 tons per second, which is not expected to significantly affect the water level of the Han River in Seoul.



There is no news of heavy rain today, so the water level in the Han River seems to be lowering little by little.

Which road is being controlled now?



<Reporter>



Yes, all major arterial roads in Seoul have been closed.



Since yesterday afternoon, the section of Dongjak Bridge from Gayang Bridge to Olympic-daero was completely controlled, but traffic resumed at 4 am.



However, there are still many places where some roads in downtown Seoul are controlled.



Some sections of Yangjaecheon-ro and 16 places including Dangsan Interchange and Mangwon Interchange are controlled in both directions.



Road conditions are not good as there are many places where roads have been dented due to heavy rain, and restoration work is underway to restore the ground.



As traffic conditions are constantly changing, we should check the traffic information on the way to work in the morning.



All subways are operating normally, so it is recommended to use public transportation.
