Hangang Bridge, Road bridge in Yongsan District, South Korea
The Hangang Bridge extends across the Han River for 1.1 kilometers, connecting Yongsan District in the north to Dongjak District in the south.
The bridge, first constructed as a footbridge in 1917, suffered destruction during the Korean War in 1950 when South Korean forces detonated it to impede enemy advancement.
The Korea Meteorological Administration monitors a specific 100-meter section between bridge posts to determine when the Han River officially freezes during winter.
Eight traffic lanes facilitate vehicle movement across the bridge, while pedestrian paths offer access to the artificial island of Nodeulseom beneath the structure.
The bridge reconstruction in 1954 included an expansion to accommodate tram tracks, marking a shift from its original pedestrian-only design to a multi-modal transportation link.
