During the presidency of Syngman Rhee , Cheonggyecheon was covered over with concrete for roads and, in 1968, an elevated highway was built over it . In July 2003, then Seoul mayor ( now President ) Lee Myung-bak initiated a project to uncover and restore the stream . It was a major undertaking as not only did the highway have to be removed, but years of neglect and development had left the stream nearly totally dry and 120,000 tons of water had to be pumped in daily . The stream was opened to the public in September of 2005 and lauded as a major success in urban renewal and beautification . However, there was considerable opposition from the previous mayoral administration of Goh Kun , which feared gentrification of the adjacent areas that housed many shops and small businesses in the machine trades . The restoration helped Lee become a nationally renowned figure, making him a serious contender for the presidency , but did not come without controversy . In May 2005, just a few months before the project was to finish, Seoul vice - mayor and local politician were arrested on bribery charges related to the project .[ citation needed ] The project is estimated to have cost over 900 billion won (approximately US$ 900 million). In addition, about 12 trillion won (US$12 billion) is expected to be invested to re-develop the 792,000 square meter region near the stream into a major commercial and residential area over the next five years.[ citation needed ] Some Korean environmental organizations have criticized the project for its high costs, calling it purely symbolic and not really beneficial to the city's eco-environment
