In the 1950s and 60s, Seoul built an elevated highway through the middle of the city. Then in the early 2000s they removed it and turned it into a river ... and traffic actually got better.
It’s called Cheonggyecheon, 청계천. Google Maps in Korea is really, really poor (for legal reasons). The satellite quality doesn’t even come close to capturing this (you can barely even tell it’s there), and Street View is just from the road (as of 2018 at the most recent) where you can see that it’s there, but not get much of a sense of it. There are a very small number of those individual non-path Street View photos.
What’s the coordinates or name. I want to explore this from satellite maps.

Thanks. There are actually quite a lot of good street view of it. Some even on the sidewalk inside.
But yeah you can’t see shit from satellite views because the tall buildings block everything ahah.
