Location of Paldang Dam Management Bridge
Paldang Bridge connects Paldang Station and Hanam Starfield, and is a 935m-long, 4-lane round-trip bridge. Not only cars but also bicycles can pass through, so it is popular not only for driving but also as a bicycle course. However, there are many people in this section, so the road is sometimes blocked. What is useful at this time is the Paldang Dam Management Bridge.
The Paldang Dam Management Bridge, also called ‘public road’, is located in the place connecting the Neungnae-ri Bongan Tunnel and the Paldang Dam three-way intersection, and is the closest passageway to Paldang Lake. It is a two-lane round-trip bridge and serves to connect Hanam-si and Namyangju, so it is efficient to move without detouring.

The dam is a major national security facility, and Paldang Dam is the same. For reasons such as safety and security, general vehicles other than related vehicles were not allowed to operate around the Paldang Dam. However, as complaints of inconvenience due to the detour increased, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power and Gyeonggi-do signed an agreement to allow general vehicles to pass for a certain period of time. That period is until August 31, 2024. If the contract is extended in the future, it will be possible to pass thereafter.
However, vehicle movement is not always permitted. General vehicle traffic is permitted only on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays. Considering the demand of users, the travel time of Paldang Dam is set from 6:00 pm on the day before holidays to midnight on holidays.
