YEONGJONG GRAND BRIDGE, SOUTH KOREA
Project Information:
Project Name: Yeongjong Grand Bridge, South Korea
South Korea, Asia
Project Description:
The Yeongjong Grand Bridge in South Korea is the most expensive bridge in Asia. As far as bridges go it’s relatively young, only opening to the public in 2000 after a five-year construction period that cost the South Korean government a whopping $1.9 billion. As the name suggests, the bridge was built to connect Yeongjong island to the South Korean mainland. In total, the bridge traverses a length of 4.42 km, making it a testament to modern engineering.
