Dangsan Railway Bridge

Dangsan Railway Bridge is a steel structure crossing the Han River and linking the neighborhoods on either side through a single rail line. The bridge carries only subway trains and remains one of the busier transit routes in the greater Seoul area.

The bridge first opened in 1984 as part of Seoul's subway expansion. After the Seongsu Bridge collapse shocked the nation, it underwent complete reconstruction from 1996 to 1999 with enhanced safety measures.

The bridge exemplifies South Korean engineering developments of the late 20th century, integrating modern design principles with functional transportation requirements.

The best way to experience the bridge is by taking the subway Line 2 through Dangsan Station. The crossing takes about a minute and offers views of the river and surrounding areas.

The bridge reconstruction project in 1999 incorporated advanced engineering methods while maintaining the original crossing point across the Han River.
