Gangneung plans to complete the full 7.67 km Namdaecheon bicycle road in 2026, with 4.09 km already opened and the remaining sections scheduled for this year

Could add a continuous 7.67 km riverside bicycle road in Gangneung once complete, but the full route is not confirmed rideable yet.
Gangneung plans to complete the full 7.67 km Namdaecheon bicycle road in 2026, with 4.09 km already opened and the remaining sections scheduled for this year.
Partly.
The already opened section should be rideable, but the full continuous route is still a 2026 target. Treat it as a watch item until the final section is actually open and checked.
Not yet.
If you are already riding near Gangneung, it is worth watching. A continuous riverside line can be useful. A half-finished one can be a polite way to lose momentum.
Planned full length: 7.67 km. Reported current state: 4.09 km opened by 2025; 3.58 km planned for completion in 2026. Map needs: route geometry and a GPX download before this becomes map-enabled content.
TL;DR
- Gangneung plans to complete the full 7.67 km Namdaecheon bike road in 2026.
- A 4.09 km section was reportedly opened by 2025; the rest is planned for this year.
- Verification: scheduled through media report. Rideability: partly rideable now, coming soon for the full route.
Watch this one.
Not a route recommendation yet. More like a useful line on the map that may become worth riding once the missing pieces are done.
