[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters reporters Jonggu Song and Seryeong Lee] As the predicted landfall time of Typhoon Hinnamnor, the 11th typhoon forecasted by the Korea Meteorological Administration, approaches, the entire Hadong-gun area in Gyeongnam is on high alert.

In August 2020, Namdo Bridge was completely submerged in water, leaving only parts of the deck and the arch shape intact due to continuous heavy rain and typhoons.

At that time, a flood warning was issued for the Seomjin River, and the nearby Hwagaecheon overflowed, causing water to rise up to adult chest height in Hwagae Market.

Currently, before Typhoon Hinnamnor approaches, the water level under Namdo Bridge is somewhat shallow due to this summer's scorching heat and dry monsoon.

Local residents are paying close attention to the Korea Meteorological Administration's typhoon forecasts and local government alerts, hoping that the Namdo Bridge will not disappear underwater again.
