Jamsil Railway Bridge

The Jamsil Railway Bridge is a steel structure that crosses the Han River, connecting Gwangjin and Songpa districts in Seoul. It carries two subway lines and handles thousands of daily train passages.

The structure was completed in 1979 as part of the city's expanding subway network. Since then, it has served as a key transportation artery for Seoul's eastern districts.

The bridge's name ties the Jamsil neighborhood to its role as a rail crossing. Visitors notice the Korean script at stations and feel the daily rhythm of commuters using this crossing.

The bridge can be crossed on foot or by bicycle, particularly between Jamsillaru and Gangbyeon stations. Designated pathways allow for walking breaks if you prefer a longer pace.

From the pedestrian walkway, you get a clear view of Lotte World Tower, one of the country's tallest buildings. This proximity to such a recognizable landmark makes a stroll across the bridge particularly interesting.
