장소 소개
This bridge was first constructed in 1420 because of the frequent visits of King Jeongjong and King Taejong, but after Taejong died, the king’s visits became so rare that it was never completed. Later, because the people who frequently used this road felt the need to rebuild it, construction resumed in 1475 and was completed in 1483, the 14th year of King Seongjong’s reign. It was also called “Jeban Bridge” because it was like walking on a flat, level surface. Among the bridges built in the early Joseon period, this was the largest, constructed using a total of 64 stone pillars. The shape of the stone pillar was designed in a diamond pattern to reduce the resistance of flowing water. In the 1920s, a heavy downpour in Seoul washed away part of the bridge, and it was repaired again in the 1970s, but by reconstructing the right side of the bridge with concrete spliced together, it somewhat lost its original appearance.
