The Seoul city government will fully restrict vehicle traffic in both directions on the Jamsu Bridge starting at 10:40 a.m. on the 20th. The restricted section is from the southern end to the northern end of the Jamsu Bridge.
The Seoul city government noted, "Due to heavy rainfall in the central region, the discharge from the Paldang Dam has increased, leading to the complete restriction of vehicle traffic on the Jamsu Bridge." The Paldang Dam is currently discharging more than 7,000 tons of water per second into the Han River.
As of 11:10 a.m. on that day, in addition to the Jamsu Bridge, the section from the Suraek Underpass to the Seongsu Junction on the Eastern Expressway is also fully restricted in both directions.
The Seoul Disaster and Safety Countermeasure Headquarters requested citizens to check traffic conditions in advance and to use public transportation as much as possible. Real-time traffic control situations can be checked at the Seoul Transportation Information Center (TOPIS).
