[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] Strong winds exceeding 26 meters per second are blowing in Busan, located on the path of Typhoon No. 10 'Haishen,' causing continuous damage. Due to the strong winds, facilities such as traffic lights and street trees are being knocked down, resulting in repeated damage, so special caution is required.

Operation on major roads in Busan, including Busan Harbor Bridge and Namhang Bridge, has also been restricted. Busan Metropolitan City announced that from 4 a.m. on the 7th, container trucks and other large vehicles were prohibited from crossing Busan Harbor Bridge as wind speeds around the bridge exceeded 15 meters per second.

Operation on other major roads was also restricted. Earlier, Busan City controlled traffic overnight on the Geoga Bridge connecting Busan and Geoje, as well as on Sebyeong Bridge, Suyeon Bridge, and Yeonan Bridge, where water level rises were a concern.
