Jamsugyo Bridge Closed to Traffic for Pedestrian-Only Conversion Construction

Seoul's Jamsugyo Bridge has been closed to traffic starting from midnight today (the 26th) to begin construction for its conversion into a pedestrian-only bridge.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government aims to complete expansion and paving work for pedestrian decks by August of next year, allowing the space to host various cultural events.

Even after the construction begins, pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the bridge for the time being.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon visited the Jamsugyo Bridge site yesterday and stated, "Once the construction is finished, another landmark of Seoul will be born, and we will adjust the construction sections to ensure there is no inconvenience for citizens using it."
