Seoul once had a light rain, but now it has subsided.

However, it is not easy to get home from work on Thursday (11th) because there are still roads that are not covered by cars.

You can check the traffic control status on the Seoul Traffic Information System website.

Let's connect the Han River Jamsu Bridge.



Reporter Lee Seong-hoon, we still haven't seen the Jamsu Bridge.

Yes, as you can see behind me, the Jamsu Bridge has been submerged for four days.



There is currently no rain here.



The water level is high enough that the sign is barely visible above the water.

The water level at Jamsu Bridge is 8.6m at 7:30pm.



At 7:30 a.m., the water level was 7.55 m, and it has risen more than 1 m in 12 hours.



The heavy rains in the upper Han River area have caused the Paldang Dam to continuously discharge more than 10,000 tons per second.



From 3 pm, the Soyanggang Dam also started to be discharged for the first time in two years since the summer of last year.



Currently, it is discharging about 600 tons per second, and the water level at the Jamsu Bridge is expected to rise further as the amount of discharge can be increased depending on the situation.

The city of Seoul, which used to be very clogged up, is being pushed back more because of the rain these days. Please tell us about other road conditions.

As the water level of the Han River rose, from 3:30 pm, the section of Dongjak Bridge from Gayang Bridge to Olympic-daero was completely controlled in both directions.



In addition, a total of 17 downtown Seoul roads are under control.



Dangsan Interchange, Mangwon Interchange, and Yangjaecheongyo to Yeongdong 1gyo Bridge are controlled in both directions, and access to the Yeoui Upstream IC connection to Nodeul is blocked in one direction at the ramp.



In addition, restoration work is being carried out on some roads, so road conditions are not good.



All Seoul subways are operating normally.



Real-time traffic information can be found on the Seoul Traffic Information System website.



As the situation is constantly changing, it is recommended to check the traffic information in advance before moving.
