Machang Grand Bridge, Road bridge in Changwon, South Korea
Machang Grand Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge that spans across Masan Bay, connecting two major ports on opposite sides. The structure rises above the water with its distinctive cables and central tower, creating a vital passage for traffic between the two cities.
Construction began in the early 2000s and took several years to complete, representing a major infrastructure project for the region. The bridge was designed to improve transportation connections between two previously less connected port cities.
The structure bears different names across Asian languages, including 馬昌大橋 in Japanese, 마창대교 in Korean, and 马昌大桥 in Chinese characters.
The bridge carries vehicle traffic daily and provides a direct route across the bay for all types of transportation. Visitors should know that this is an active roadway with high-speed traffic, and pedestrian access may be limited or restricted.
