The bridge has CCTV cameras installed at intervals of 80 to 110 meters.[3] It is believed to be the bridge over the Han River with the fewest number of suicide attempts, because it is inaccessible to public transportation and because there is a high likelihood of falling to death while climbing it.[4]
