Paldang Bridge, Road bridge in Hanam and Namyangju, South Korea
Paldang Bridge is a concrete road bridge spanning the Han River between Hanam and Namyangju with multiple lanes designed for daily traffic flow. The structure carries substantial vehicle movement between eastern and western areas, linking the two cities across the waterway.
The project began in the 1980s as a response to growing demand for connections between expanding regions on both sides of the river. Construction took several years to complete as engineers worked to establish a reliable link across the waterway.
The bridge serves as a daily route for people traveling between the two cities, and the riverside surroundings have become a familiar backdrop for local life. Residents and visitors often stop to photograph the river views and walk along the nearby paths.
The bridge is primarily designed for vehicle traffic and can be congested during rush hours, so timing your visit is important if you plan to cross. Walking along the bridge or pausing for views is best done during quieter periods away from peak traffic.
The bridge stands as one of the easternmost crossings of the Han River and holds strategic importance for the region's transportation network. Few visitors realize that construction challenges affected the project significantly and required reinforcement work during development.
