Yeongdeungpo-gu announced on the 30th that it has prepared safety measures to prevent accidents at Seonyu Bridge, which is expected to be crowded with many people as the new year approaches. District head Choi Ho-kwon emphasized that he will make every effort to ensure that residents can enjoy the sunrise with peace of mind.
This year, in particular, the sunrise viewing area will be divided into zones, the number of visitors will be limited, and one-way traffic will be encouraged to reduce congestion. To this end, each zone will be distinguished by color, and bracelets of the corresponding color will be distributed in advance on site. This will help visitors view the area efficiently.
