In southern Gyeonggi Province, where record-breaking snow bombs of nearly 50 centimeters fell, there are many places where snow removal work is still underway.

The snow melted on the main road, but you have to be extra careful driving because the shoulder is icy.

I'll connect with the reporter to find out the current situation. Reporter Oh Dong-gun.

[Reporter]
It is at the Seosuji Interchange in the direction of Seoul, Yongin Seoul Expressway.

Please tell me the current situation.

Until a while ago, the traffic jam was refuted, but after a little while going to work, the cars are now falling out as if they had made a promise.

But the problem is the icy road.

As the temperature rises little by little, this place is turning into moisture.

If the temperature goes down a little, the wind chill is low, or if there is a lot of wind, this place can turn into black ice, so this is a concern.

Those who drive on icy roads should be careful of this and drive.

If it snows again this morning or the temperature drops a lot, I came out of this place with concern that the disturbance at work would be repeated.

The rush to work does not appear to have been repeated.

The rush to work was not repeated as many people used buses or public transportation to avoid yesterday's incident.

We've heard the citizens' stories.

Let's listen to it together.

We had nearly 50cm of snow in Yongin yesterday, how was the snow removal work?

[Reporter]
The snow removal work is almost completed around this big road you're looking at.

So vehicles can easily enter and exit.

There are many apartments and roads in southern Gyeonggi Province.

In the case of Indian work, there were many places where snow removal was not done yet.

Just a moment ago, I was able to confirm that the main road was cleared of snow by mobilizing heavy equipment, but there were still many places in India that had not been touched by snow removal.

As a result, there was still a lot of snow on the road where people passed and there were many icy roads to pass through, so special attention was required.

The problem is that it could snow once more.

Snow and rain forecasts are in place in the Seoul metropolitan area.

If it falls a lot, it is expected to fall 5cm, and if it falls a lot, it will fall 2cm, so if it falls again in southern Gyeonggi Province, where snow removal work has not been completed, secondary damage is feared.
