Yongjong Grand Bridge, Korea

The Yongjong Grand Bridge serves


as the gateway to both metropolitan
Seoul and the new Incheon International Airport and, furthermore is the
only bridge connecting Yeongjong Island with the mainland. Vessels up to
10,000 tons can pass under the
bridge. From downtown Seoul, you
can reach the Incheon International
Airport within 45 minutes.
The Yongjong Grand Bridge includes the worlds longest self-anchored suspension bridge. It consists
of both a six-lane highway on the upper deck and a four-lane highway including two railways on the lower deck.
The bridge is 4,420 m long and contains three different types of bridges:
Self-anchored Suspension Bridge
(550 m), Truss Bridge (2,250 m), and
Composite Rahmen Bridge (1,620 m).
The suspension bridge is the worlds

longest two-deck self-anchored suspension bridge, carrying both road


and railways. It has a center span
length of 300 m and side span length
of 125 m. The Suspension Bridge,
made to resemble the patterns of the
traditional Korean Kiwa roof and
eaves, best symbolizes traditional Korean culture.
The main tower forms a diamond
with two columns uniting into one.
Such structure symbolizes the reunification of the Korean peninsula and
undying will of the Korean people toward this goal.
The Yongjong Grand bridge was
opened for traffic on December 5th
2000.
