A bridge has been opened across the blue lake and the city stream leading to it.

It is 12m high, 248m long, and a suspension bridge.

It was named "Chuncheon Inter-ro 248" with the meaning of meeting memories at Uiam Lake and the length of the bridge of 248m.

Vehicles cannot travel, and the suspension bridge, where only humans can travel, has an open sense of openness, providing thrilling and superb views of Uiam Lake at a glance.

[Yong Hwanjun / Toegye-dong, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do: This place is so nice. It's a distance I've come to often, but new facilities like this are created, so it's good to come with my child, and I couldn't come with my wife, but I really want to come with her.]

In 2021, the Samaksan Lake Cable Car, which is the longest 3.61km in Korea crossing the lake, began operating around Uiam Lake,
In the following year, Chuncheon Legoland, a children's theme park, opened on an island in the middle of Uiam Lake.

In addition, the skywalk, which gives you the thrill of walking on the water, and the 30km bicycle path and trail surrounding Uiam Lake have already become tourist attractions.

With the opening of the suspension bridge this time, the attractions and entertainment centered on Uiam Lake have become even richer.

[Yook Dong-han / Chuncheon Mayor: This bridge will serve as a catalyst for turning Gongjicheon Stream, a place of past memories, into a high-quality cultural tourist destination.]

Starting with the opening of the suspension bridge, concert halls and media art exhibition halls will also open one after another in the area.Expectations are high on whether it will become another new tourist attraction representing Chuncheon, a city of lakes
