The Banpo Bridge is an important girder bridge in the South Korean capital, Seoul , that spans the Han River . It connects the Seocho and Yongsan districts . The Banpo Bridge was completed in 1982 and runs above the Jamsu Bridge . When the water rises, the Jamsu Bridge is flooded and closed, so that only the Banpo Bridge is still passable.
