Maintenance work is visible along upper Oncheoncheon around Busan Nat'l Univ and nearby downstream sections
This is not one continuous closure, but it is not clean riding either. Slow down under bridges, around work vehicles, and near temporary signs.
Maintenance work is visible along upper Oncheoncheon around Busan Nat'l Univ and nearby downstream sections. Project material also points to related Jangjeon/Guseo-area work.
Geumjeong-gu has maintenance work underway around the upper Oncheoncheon corridor.
The field photos here are around Busan Nat'l Univ and nearby downstream sections. Public project material also names Oncheoncheon walking-path and bicycle-road maintenance around the Jangjeon and Guseo station area, and local reporting says Geumjeong-gu inspected related work sites in June.
On the ground, that means the usual mix: signs, work vehicles, material piles, blocked subsegments, and small detours.
Do not treat the whole stream path as closed.
Do treat it as a construction corridor for now.
Slow down under bridges and near workers, especially where the path narrows or the surface is dusty. If you are trying to hold rhythm, this is not the section for it until the work settles.
Field photos: June 17, 2026. Signed work period: June 4 to September 1, 2026. Area: upper Oncheoncheon, Geumjeong-gu. Practical effect: short local interruptions, narrowed space, and temporary detours.

Mostly rideable. Less tidy than usual.
If you are using Oncheoncheon for a relaxed roll, it still works in places. If you want uninterrupted flow, expect disappointment around the work zones.
