Vehicle traffic on Seoul's Jamsugyo Bridge will be fully restricted.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that vehicle access to Jamsugyo Bridge will be restricted starting at midnight tomorrow (the 26th), officially kicking off construction to transform the bridge into Seoul's first pedestrian-only bridge over the Han River.

Seoul's goal is to complete the expansion of the pedestrian deck and paving work by August of next year, allowing citizens to enjoy various cultural events on the bridge.

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