Operations of more than 120 KTX high-speed trains have been suspended or undergone route changes after the partial collapse of an overpass near Seoul Station earlier this week, the state-run rail operator said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, the Seosomun Overpass, undergoing demolition in Seoul's western ward of Seodaemun, partially collapsed, killing three people and injuring three others.
The falling debris impacted power lines for the railway between Seoul Station and Sinchon Station, suspending KTX services between Seoul Station and Haengsin Station in Goyang, north of Seoul, according to the Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL).
It also halted Gyeongui Line services between Seoul Station and Susaek Station in northwestern Seoul.
