In the aftermath of the disaster, the Seoul Metropolitan Government originally planned to repair and reopen the bridge to traffic within three months, but reversed course after public outcry.[5]Template:Rp
New bridge
Construction for the new bridge began in March 1996 under Hyundai Engineering & Construction. Construction for the replacement bridge cost 78 billion won (equivalent to ₩Expression error: Unrecognized punctuation character "[". billion in Template:Inflation/year[6]), about 6.8 times the original price.[7][8] The new bridge was opened to the public on July 3, 1997, by Mayor Cho Soon, and a memorial was held on the bridge.[9][10]
