Getting in

Approach
A step-free approach with an even surface leads to the bridge. Which end or entry point this covers is not known.
Parking
Accessible parking is at Yeouido Hangang Park Parking Lot 2 on the south side. It is also at Mapo Public Parking Lot (마포공영주차장) on the north side.
Route
Exit 4 of Mapo Station (Line 5) is a 5-minute walk from the bridge. This is not the station's street elevator exit.

Inside

Sidewalks
Step-free sidewalks run in both directions, so you can move across the bridge by wheelchair. At least part of the way is split into a pedestrian lane and a bike lane.
Slopes
Parts of the walkway have a gentle slope. A ramp appears to lead up to the wooden deck, with a steel joint at the bottom and two posts at the entry.
Seats
The wooden deck section has seats and bright street lights. The seats may be backless boxes, with long benches along the wall on the road side.
River link
Older information from 2021: only stairs and ramps linked the Yeouido end of the bridge to Yeouido Hangang Park. An elevator was planned there by 2026, and whether it now exists is not known.
Toilets
Accessible toilets are by the river below the bridge, not on it. The Mulbit Plaza Fountain (물빛광장분수) public toilets on the Yeouido side have them inside one men's room and one women's room, and may be the same ones. The riverside toilet building appears to sit on a raised base, with a steel ramp at one end.

Hours
The bridge is open all day, every day of the year, as of October 2026.

Vision, hearing
Facilities for visitors with vision or hearing disabilities are marked as none. An accessible toilet may have tactile paving inside.
Other services
There is no ticket office, information facility, stroller rental, or stroller storage. There is also no family toilet, baby-changing table, or nursing room.
