The Banpo Bridge (Korean: 반포대교) is a major bridge for vehicular traffic over the Han River in central Seoul, South Korea. It is a double-decked bridge, and is above the pedestrian Jamsu Bridge.[4]
The bridge is a popular tourist attraction, and is known for its daily Moonlight Rainbow Fountain and light shows in the evenings around summertime. As of 2024[update], the bridge holds the Guinness World Record for longest fountain bridge in the world.[5] It is centrally located in Seoul, and accessible via public transportation.
The bridge is situated over the Han River, and connects Seobinggo-donginYongsan District with Banpo-donginSeocho District.[6] It is 25 m (82 ft) wide and 1,495 m (4,905 ft) long.[1][6]
The bridge is intended for vehicular traffic. It is the first double deck bridge built in South Korea.[4]
It is a major landmark and attracts locals and tourists.[7]
Since April 2009, the bridge has a fountain off its west side called Moonlight Rainbow Fountain (달빛무지개분수).[8] On November 7, 2008, the bridge was awarded the Guinness World Record for longest fountain bridge in the world.[5] The bridge has 38 water pumps and 380 nozzles installed. It also has speakers, lights, and projectors.[8]
Five to six times per day from April to October, the fountain has a 20 minute water and light show. This occurs only if there is good weather. It has projectors that can display images on the water.[8][9] The show is set to music that includes various popular South Korean and international songs. The set list is available online.[8]
Beneath Banpo Bridge is Jamsu Bridge. Jamsu Bridge is intended for pedestrian usage. It often hosts cultural events such as a yearly fall market with live music and food trucks.[citation needed] During periods of high rainfall, the Jamsu Bridge is designed to submerge as the water level of the river rises, as the lower deck lies close to the waterline.[10]
The lower Jamsu Bridge was completed in 1979, before Banpo Bridge.[6] Banpo Bridge began construction on August 11, 1980 and was completed on November 1982.[11] It cost W22 billion to build (US$20 million).[citation needed] Its construction was intended to reduce traffic load on the Hangang Bridge.[6]
The bridge went under repairs from December 30, 1994 to June 30, 1996.[4]
