Supyogyo, Stone bridge in Jangchung-dong, South Korea.
The stone bridge spans across Cheonggyecheon stream with measurements of 27.5 meters in length and 8.3 meters in width, featuring traditional construction methods.
Constructed in 1420 during King Sejong's reign, the bridge changed its name from Majeongyo to Supyogyo in 1441 when water measurement instruments were installed.
The structure incorporates a stone water gauge system marked in cheok units, representing scientific advancements during the Joseon Dynasty period of Korean history.
Located at coordinates 37.558092, 127.004995, the bridge now stands in Jangjungdan Park following relocation efforts during the 1958 Cheonggyecheon coverage project.
The bridge contained a measurement system that triggered governmental emergency responses when water levels exceeded 9-cheok during seasonal flooding periods.
