| Description | ||||
|
In this fourth segment of the Korean Bridge series, such representative suspension
and truss bridges of Korea as Gwangan Bridge, Seongsu Bridge, Seongsan Bridge, and Yeongjong Bridge are
featured. A suspension bridge has two main towers at each end, between which cables hang. A truss bridge is
shored up by a web of triangles composed of timbers or steel rods.
Seongsan Bridge Boasting excellent representative beauty through the representation of harmony between half-moon-shaped Oriental curvature and lineal beauty, Seongsan Bridge was completed in 1980 as the 12th bridge over Han River. Linking Mangwon-dong and Yanghwa-dong of Seoul, the Bridge connects to Seobu Trunk Road and Gyeongin Highway. As a result, much traffic crosses over the Bridge. As a truss bridge, the Bridge is 1,415m long and 27m wide and has 6 lanes. |
