400-meter chicken feast planned on Jamsu Bridge to mark end of vehicle traffic

Seoul is set to host the Jamsu Bridge Chicken Day on Sunday, concluding a season of car-free festivities. This event marks the end of the 50-year-old lower deck of Banpo Bridge, which will be closed permanently to vehicular traffic on October 26. The bridge will then be converted into a pedestrian park.
