Construction on the bridge began in March 2010 and was originally slated to be completed by August 2015,[1] but budget cuts have slowed its pace.[2]
The bridge is intended to connect the Seobu Expressway to Mapo District.[3]
The K-pop group BTS performed the song "Butter" on the bridge for the July 14, 2021 airing of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.[4][5]
