The Banpo Bridge is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River. Banpo Bridge was built in 1982 and is on top of the Jamsu bridge which was built in 1976, forming a "double deck" bridge. The lower deck incorporates pedestrian and bicycle paths that provide easy access to the Banpo Hangang Park from the north side of the river. When the water level rises too high, the Jamsu Bridge becomes covered with water and gets closed off.
In 2009 a fountain composed of a series of 10,000 LED nozzles was added on each side of the upper bridge. The streams of water wave up and down and are lit with colored lights. This photo was taken from the lower bridge. You can just make out some of the pipe for the fountain along the edges of the upper deck above us. See a short video clip here.

All best wishes to you this New Year!
Nice shot.

Mon mari a été à Séoul mais n'a pas pris ce pont, il vboyageait par train !
Bisous.
Bill, I don't know what to think of the fountain, but can't deny it's impressive. Did you see the water spray? I like your bridge shot, even the bit of reflection of the front windshield.
We only drove over it once and the fountains were not turned on ni guess they only do that on special occasions. It is San impressive bridge and very solid.
What an interesting looking bridge, from the railings to the lay-bys to the strange little dip (I don't think I've ever seen such a bend in a bridge before!)
Hopefully the bend is meant to be there...right? Great shot, happy new year.
Surely the fountain would be distracting for the drivers?
It is nice that it was not crowded with vehicles so you/we can see all the neat features clearly.
The perspective in this shot is stunning. Thanks for the link to the water fountain on the side! That must have been so beautiful to see!
Excellent shot!
