  "summary": "Seoul's Jamsu Bridge, a part of the Banpo Bridge, will become a pedestrian-only bridge. The Seoul Metropolitan Government announced that vehicle traffic will be banned on the bridge starting at midnight on October 26.\n\nThe bridge has served as a link between the northern and southern banks of the Han River since its opening in 1976. Two of its four traffic lanes were converted into space for pedestrians and cyclists in 2008.\n\nConstruction to transform the bridge into a pedestrian-only area is set to be completed by August next year. The work will include widening the pedestrian deck and paving. Pedestrians and cyclists will still be able to use the bridge during construction, with work zones separated from pedestrian paths.",
