The entrance to Anyang Pangyo, which connects Seongnam-si and Anyang-si in Gyeonggi-do, was completely blocked for two hours due to the heavy snow that poured in for a long time.

In addition, cars have been isolated or controlled throughout the metropolitan area's roads because they can't move.

Reporter Yang Dong-hoon reports.

Cars are standing stranded on a snowy road.

When the dispatched police pushed the car as hard as they could, they turned the wheels and moved forward little by little.

As a lot of snow piled up on the sloping Anyang Pangyo-ro in Gyeonggi-do, cars were isolated because they couldn't move.

The police controlled the entire two-way traffic and made rounds of cars that had already entered.

After the snow removal work continued, traffic finally resumed in two hours.

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

As the snow poured down in a situation where only one car was allowed to pass, serious congestion continued in the 2-3km section.

[Road 45] It was so slippery and there was a slope, so the cars were all tangled up in the truck and couldn't even get out of the way.]

The snow removal car melted the snow to allow the truck to get out, and the congestion was resolved in an hour and a half.

Near the crane junction of the Seoul Metropolitan Area 1 Circulation Expressway, traffic around the area was paralyzed after a truck accident alone.

The viewer, who was driving near the crash site at the time, complained in a call with YTN that he had spent nearly three hours in a limp manner.

In addition, there has been a series of civil inconveniences due to control and isolation on roads around the Seoul metropolitan area, with reports that snow accumulated on the road in front of an apartment building in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, for more than an hour.
