Vehicle traffic on the Gyeongnam Machang Bridge and Geoga Bridge, which had been restricted since midnight on the 10th, resumed from 11:30 a.m.

Earlier, Gyeongnam Province blocked entry in both directions due to strong winds caused by Typhoon Khanun, fearing damage to vehicles traveling on the sea bridges.

National highways along the southern coast managed by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport?including Noryang Bridge, Changseon Bridge, Changseongyo, Singeoje Bridge, Dongjin Bridge, and Chubong Bridge?were also restricted for the same reason, but the traffic restrictions were lifted after 11:30 a.m. that day.

According to the province, roads between Changwon and Busan and the road toward Busan through Bulmosan Tunnel remain closed, and vehicle traffic is also prohibited on both directions near Ssalljae Tunnel, where a landslide occurred that morning.

A provincial official said, “Please refrain from going out as much as possible, and if you must travel, avoid restricted sections and take safe detours.”
