Banpo Bridge, Double-deck girder bridge over Han River in Seoul, South Korea
The Banpo Bridge extends 1.2 kilometers across the Han River, connecting the Seobinggo-dong and Banpo-dong districts through multiple traffic lanes.
The construction of this transportation infrastructure began in January 1980 and reached completion on June 25, 1982, marking South Korea's first double-deck bridge.
The bridge structure incorporates the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain, which performs water shows synchronized with music, drawing residents and visitors to evening gatherings.
Pedestrians and vehicles access the bridge through multiple entry points, with subway stations and bus stops located near both ends of the structure.
The bridge fountain system, certified by Guinness World Records, releases water through 38 pumps across 1,140 meters, creating illuminated water displays.

Bridges have connected shores, valleys and communities for centuries. This collection presents significant bridge structures from different periods and regions. From medieval stone arches to modern steel constructions, these works demonstrate the evolution of engineering. The 16th-century Rialto Bridge in Venice spans the Grand Canal with a single stone arch. The Golden Gate in San Francisco extends 2.7 kilometers, connecting the city with northern California. In Singapore, the Helix Bridge forms a pedestrian connection across Marina Bay with its double spiral structure. These constructions serve practical functions in urban transport while defining the skylines of their cities. They document technical solutions to geographic obstacles and show different approaches to bridge building across the centuries.
