Cheonho Bridge

Cheonho Bridge spans the Han River and connects eastern and central districts of Seoul with six traffic lanes running across. Pedestrian paths on both sides allow people to walk or cycle across the structure safely.

The bridge opened in 1976 and marked a major phase of infrastructure expansion across Seoul during the 1970s. It reflects the rapid industrial growth that transformed the country during that decade.

The bridge is woven into the daily routines of residents who cross between different parts of the city. It serves as a practical link that helps connect neighborhoods and allows people to move freely across Seoul.

The bridge gets crowded during morning and evening rush hours when many commuters cross, causing slower travel times. Using public transit or crossing at quieter times helps avoid delays and congestion.

The bridge offers an unusual vantage point from its center where you can see the Seoul skyline and the wide river stretching below. This view is often overlooked by people rushing across, even though it rewards a moment of pause.
