Seoullo 7017 - Past & Present

It was originally 'Seoul Station Overpass', a road for cars and regarded as a symbol of Seoul during the period of industrialisation.

In 2006, the Seoul Station Overpass was closed to traffic due to safety concerns. It is now a transformed beautiful sky garden high above the busy streets. 

​

Origins of '7017'

The name 'Seoullo 7017' originates from '70' for the year Seoul Station Overpass was first constructed in 1970 and '17' for the year the highway was re-constructed in 2017.

The number '17' also refers to the number of pedestrian paths connected.
