Dangsan railway bridge. The Seoul Subway Line 2 train is heading south across the Han River.
The 'Dangsan Railway Bridge' (당산철교) crosses the
Han River in
Seoul. It is used exclusively by
Seoul Subway Line 2. Immediately on the south side of the bridge is
Dangsan Station in
Yeongdeungpo-gu, which is on an elevated platform.
Hapjeong Station, a subterranean station in
Mapo-gu, is located approximately 600 meters north of where the bridge makes landfall.
After the partial collapse of
Seongsu Bridge, every bridge in Seoul was re-examined for safety and it was decided that Dangsan Bridge should be taken down and rebuilt. Amid considerable controversy, this bridge was closed for reconstruction on
December 31st,
1996. The reconstruction finished on
November 22nd,
1999.
