History

  • broke ground on 1995
  • 1998 stopped construction because of financial troubles
  • July 9, 2008 opened to the public
  • Effects

    The bridge was constructed as part of the Southern Busan Thoroughfare (부산남부순환로) initiative. It has significantly reduced time between Yeongdo Island and western Busan. Initially, a trip from Seo-gu to Yeongdo-gu (or vice versa) was 7 km long and would take 30 minutes. Now, it is only 2 km long and takes 3 minutes.
