At a glance

The Seoul Station overpass, built in the 1970s, was due to be torn down after safety problems were found. Instead the city turned it into Seoullo 7017, a pedestrian walkway that reconnects the neighborhoods around the station. The name packs in the story: a 1970 overpass reborn in 2017, a road for cars turned into 17 paths for people, standing 17 m high. Along the way are an information center, rest areas, a cafe, a small exhibition hall and a garden classroom.
