Continuous heavy snow has blocked access to Anyang Pangyo, which connects Seongnam City and Anyang City in Gyeonggi Province.

In addition, cars are being isolated or controlled throughout the road because they can't move.

I'll connect you to a reporter and find out more. Reporter Yang Donghoon!

Please tell me the details.

Yes, the police began to control Anyang Pangyo-ro in Gyeonggi-do from around 2:40 p.m. today (27th).

Both the access road from Uiwang in Gyeonggi Province and the access road from Bundang were controlled.

The police took measures to round the cars on the road because there was a lot of snow on the road with a heavy slope and the vehicles could not climb the snow.

After that, after melting the accumulated snow, the traffic resumed in two hours.

Let's listen to the story of the driver who took a detour while on the Anyang Pangyo-ro.

[Cho Eun-hee / Anyang Pangyo-ro Driver: Cars were stranded from the middle of the road, so they were all locked up, and now they came down one by one.]

On Route 45 in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, a large truck that slipped in the snow stopped blocking two lanes of the road.

As only one car was allowed to pass, serious congestion continued in the 2-3km section.

The gridlock was cleared in an hour and a half as the trailer was able to escape after the snowplow melted.

In addition, there was a report that cars were stranded for more than an hour due to snow accumulating on the road in front of an apartment building in Gwanak-gu, Seoul.

There was a viewer report that cars were stuck for nearly three hours without being stranded near the junction of the Seoul Metropolitan Area 1 Circulation Expressway.

From dawn to 4 p.m. today, 87 reports of traffic accidents in the southern part of Gyeonggi Province were reported, and as many as 895 complaints of traffic inconvenience were received.
