Namhangdaegyo (남항대교) is a girder bridge in Busan. It spans Yeongdo-gu and Seo-gu and is 1.8 km long in total with four lanes of traffic (two in each direction).
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 (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.
