The lower Jamsu Bridge was completed in 1979, before Banpo Bridge. Banpo Bridge began construction on August 11, 1980, and was completed in November 1982. It cost W22 billion to build (US$20 million). Its construction was intended to reduce traffic load on the Hangang Bridge. Jamsu Bridge was made into an elevated arch shape in 1986, in order to accommodate tourist cruise ships passing underneath it. The bridge went under repairs from December 30, 1994, to June 30, 1996. It underwent more repairs from December 1998 to 2002. From October 2003 and 2005, it was repaved. == Gallery ==
