The Seoul Metropolitan Government, which launched a comprehensive inspection of Han River bridges following the discovery of a level difference at a Seongsu Bridge entry ramp, has released survey results indicating no safety issues.

External experts belonging to the city's inspection task force stated that while 32 level differences were found across 11 bridges, there were no signs affecting structural safety.
