Construction on the bridge began in September 2006,[1] and there was controversy regarding the naming of the bridge.[2] The Seoul City Naming Committee suggested "Amsa Bridge" in reference to Amsa-dong located in Gangdong, while the city of Guri suggested "Guri Bridge." Eventually, the Naming Committee compromised by naming the bridge "Guri–Amsa Bridge."[3]
The bridge was partially opened on November 20, 2014,[4] and opened in its entirety, including all entrances and exits, on June 29, 2015.[5]
