Seogang Bridge

The Seogang Bridge extends 1,320 meters across the Han River, featuring six traffic lanes and an iron tied arch design over Bamseom Island.

Construction began in 1980 but halted after three years due to financial issues, resuming in 1993 and completing with the bridge opening in December 1996.

The bridge construction required special considerations for Bamseom Island, which serves as a protected habitat for migratory birds in the middle of Han River.

The structure connects the districts of Mapo and Yeongdeungpo, providing an essential transportation route for thousands of vehicles crossing the Han River daily.

The bridge incorporates TENSA MODULAR expansion joints with varying movement capacities from 160 to 400 millimeters, ensuring safety during structural movements.
