The overpass lying across railroads passing Seoul Station will be permanently closed from Dec. 13. / Yonhap |
The aging overpass next to Seoul Station will be permanently closed from Dec. 13 and transformed into an elevated urban park, Seoul Metropolitan Government said Wednesday.
Originally, the closure was from Nov. 29, but the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport changed the date so police have more time to deal with traffic safety issues and the public gets more notice.
The overpass has been considered a safety hazard and SMG has been pushing to turn it into an elevated park.
