The "Bridge No Return" is located at the west end of the JSA and is bisected by the MDL. This bridge used to be the only entrance to the JSA from North Korea. But ever since the "Axe Murder Incident" in August 1976, it has never been used again by either side of Korea.
The name originates from the claim that many war prisoners from Korean War captured by the United States did not wish to return home. The prisoners were brought to the bridge and given the choice to remain in the country of their captivity or cross over to the other country. However, if they chose to cross the bridge, they would never be allowed to return.
