Han River Navigation Hub: Water Level, Bridges, and Restricted Areas

Plan the Han River as a short route

On the Han River, a short safe round trip is better than a long route. Before departure, decide the turn-back point, bridges, restricted areas, and passenger-vessel movement.

Six checks

1. Water level and discharge: after rain, check relevant flood-control and water-level information.
2. Bridge section: mark the bridges you will pass from downstream to upstream.
3. Restricted and dangerous areas: check official Han River leisure rules and local signs.
4. Passenger routes: keep clear of cruise boats, Han River buses, and management vessels.
5. Dock areas: keep speed low near docking and undocking traffic.
6. Turn-back rule: return when visibility, wind, flow, or passenger condition worsens.

Example wording

“Depart from Yeouido, turn back downstream of Seogang Bridge, and return before Mapo Bridge. Keep slow near docks and passenger boats.”
