The
North Korean JSA part of DMZ makes a semi-enclave only connected to the
rest of the North Korean DMZ by a 40 m wide and 130 long corridor. The
original Pyongyang - Seoul main road went over the Bridge of No
Return. Now it is only technically possible to drive through the JSA
over the 72-hour Bridge; as there are put road obstacles at the southern
bridge. The 72-hour Bridge got its name since it was built during 72 hours
after the Bridge of No Return incident.
