잠수교 통행제한…동부간선도로 교통 통제<br /><br />Staying with the inclement weather,... here in Seoul, we've been seeing on-and-off heavy rain mostly on since before dawn.<br />With the rising water levels on the Han river, many roads and low-lying bridges in and around the capital have been closed to pedestrians and drivers as precautionary measures.<br />And that's where our Jang Tae-hyun has been all day. He's gonna tell us what's going on out there.<br />Tae-hyun<br />Mark, when I first arrived at the Jamsu Bridge at 5 AM, the water only got up to my knees.<br />Now, if I tried to walk over the bridge, the water would come up until my waist.<br />Use of this bridge has been restricted as of 6 PM Sunday, meaning no vehicles are permitted to use it.<br />If the level is five-point-five meters or higher, people aren't allowed to walk across the bridge.<br />And if it's over six-point-two meters, no cars are allowed.<br />The water level right now is over seven meters.<br />In another part of Seoul, as of 5:30 AM, the Dongbu Expressway has been closed.<br />And the interchange roads in Banpo and Jamwon, Shinjamwon and Oksu are closed as well.<br />Looking at the central region, Chungcheongbuk-do Province also saw a huge amount of rain overnight, resulting in landslides and a gas explosion, as well as submerging houses and camping sites.<br />And Gangwon-do province also evacuated scores of residents over fears that the high waters may break the embankments.<br />There's more rain to come, so be sure to watch for the latest updates.<br />I'm Jang Tae-hyun reporting live from Jamsu Bridge.<br />Back to you, Mark.<br />
