Suspension bridge spanning Namhangang River will be open next month

If you're looking to take in all the spring warmth a little further away from the capital but closer to the nature, down in Yeoju city, a suspension bridge spanning Namhangang River is set to open this Thursday.

Cha Yun-kyung has more.

The spring river breeze brings a pleasurable feeling to tourists.

A suspension bridge spanning the Namhangang River boasts of grand and beautiful features.

This is the first suspension bridge over the Hangang River with a length of 5-hundred-15 meters and an average height of 30 meters, providing magnificent panoramic views of the River.

"We are shivering since it is very high up here, and I think it is a great place to visit with the family since it has beautiful landscapes."

Visitors can experience the thrill of looking through the bridge's glass floor where people can view the river and at the "media glass," which looks like it is breaking when people step on it.

There is a special zone at the center of the bridge where a person can propose to their loved one. People can also find an elevator for transportation of the disabled and elderly.

"It is great for both adults and children to walk around here on the suspension bridge since it is not steep, is fun, and has wonderful views."

Around the suspension bridge, tourists can explore the thousand-year-old Silleuksa Temple and Geumun Morae Camping, adding more things to see and enjoy.

"We declare the year of 2025 as the first Visit Yeoju year with the completion of the suspension bridge. We are planning to make Yeoju a brand new city by attracting more than 6-million tourists."

Based on the opening of the Yeoju Ceramic Festival, the suspension bridge will officially open on the first day of next month after final safety inspections are carried out by the end of April.
