The bridge is a combination of two bridges: the old bridge, originally called the "Second Han River Bridge", completed in 1965; and the new bridge, completed in 1982.[1] The old bridge was the first bridge built by Korean technology after independence in 1945 and served as the gateway from Seoul to the west coast.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Due to increasing traffic, construction for an expansion started in 1979Script error: No such module "Unsubst". and the new eight lane bridge was completed in February 1982.[1]

The bridge went through repairs and renovations in 1996 and reopened in April 2002 with additional ramps.
