How many bridges are there on the Han River in Seoul?

How many bridges are there on the Han River? The Hanjiang River runs through Seoul from east to west and flows through the urban area for more than 60 kilometers. On this short river course of more than 60 kilometers, Seoul people have built 24 bridges. Rivers are the gospel and a "natural barrier" that restricts economic development. There are 24 bridges every 3 kilometers on average, and the "natural barrier" has become a thoroughfare. The first bridge on the Hanjiang River is the Hanjiang Iron Bridge built at 1900. Since the 1960s, the bridge construction project has been an important measure of successive governments, and South Korea has also entered a period of economic growth. Over the past decade, Huayang Bridge, Hannan Bridge, Qianhu Bridge, Mapu Bridge, Silkworm House Bridge, Yongdong Bridge and Panpu Bridge have been built one after another. Among them, Panpu Bridge is a famous double-deck bridge, and the lower floor is called diving bridge, that is, it is open to traffic in dry season, and traffic is suspended in flood season because the water level is higher than the bridge deck. In 1980s, the "miracle of Hanjiang River" changed with each passing day. Seven bridges have been built on the Hanjiang River, including Yuanxiao Bridge, Hanjiang Bridge, Tongque Bridge, Donghu Bridge and Olympic Bridge. Four new Xijiang Bridge and Qingtan Bridge were built in 1990s. In 2002, in order to welcome the World Cup, a dedicated highway bridge directly leading to Incheon International Airport was built on the Hanjiang River. The 24 bridges on the 60km Han River, with different shapes and postures, fly from north to south like a rainbow, which not only adds icing on the cake to the economic development of South Korea, but also becomes the most beautiful scenery in Seoul. A city, a river, a myth. This is Seoul.
