Daegu Metro Line 3 Resumes Normal Operations After Power Failure Recovery

Operations on Daegu Metro Line 3, which had been halted due to a power supply disruption, have returned to normal.

The Daegu Transit Corporation announced that restoration work on the disrupted power section of Daegu Metro Line 3 was completed, and trains resumed normal operations across all sections starting with the first train at 5:30 a.m. today (the 8th).

Operations on the entire Line 3 were suspended at 7:38 p.m. the previous day, before partial service resumed from 8:10 p.m. between Chilgok Kyungpook National University Medical Center Station and Dalseong Park Station.

The Daegu Transit Corporation determined that a power supply disruption occurred between Suseong Market Station and Children's World Station at the time.

After finishing all Line 3 operations for the day, repair work and an investigation into the exact cause of the outage were conducted starting around midnight.

An official from the Daegu Transit Corporation stated, "We confirmed an issue with the overhead catenary system, which is the power supply device between Suseong-gu Stadium Station and Children's World Station, and have completed the measures." They added, "Additional reinforcement work may be needed later, but there is currently no disruption to train operations."

Since opening in April 2015 as the nation's first monorail, Daegu Metro Line 3 previously experienced a full-line suspension due to facility issues in October 2018, which was restored after 11 hours.
