Olympic Bridge, Road bridge across Han River in Seoul, South Korea.

The Olympic Bridge stretches over the Han River, connecting the districts of Gwangjin and Songpa with its steel and concrete structure.

Construction of the Olympic Bridge began in 1985, faced a collapse during building, and reached completion in 1990 after the Seoul Olympics.

The bridge represents South Korea's infrastructure development period of the late 1980s, marking the nation's emergence as a modern society.

Thousands of vehicles cross the Olympic Bridge daily, making it an essential transportation route between eastern districts of Seoul.

In 2001, a military helicopter crashed into the Han River while attempting to position a sculpture on the bridge's structure.

Inception: 1990

Official opening: November 15, 1989
