Plan around the Sunday bridge closure

Every Sunday · festival 2:00–10:00 PM · bridge traffic control noon–midnight

Seoul Future Hangang Headquarters now confirms the full autumn season at Jamsugyo Bridge and Banpo Hangang Park. General entry is free and walk-up, while food, merchandise, selected activities and some rest areas may cost extra or require advance or on-site registration. Use public transport because the full bridge is scheduled to close to vehicles, and check the organizer again on the day for flood, rain or safety changes.
