Yeongjong Bridge, Suspension bridge in Incheon, South Korea
The Yeongjong Bridge is a suspension bridge near Incheon with a double-deck structure for vehicles and trains. The structure connects mainland South Korea with Incheon International Airport and defines the region's skyline through its prominent steel cables and wide roadways.
The project emerged in the 1990s as a response to growing demand for fast transport connections to the new airport. Its completion established a major axis for passenger and freight movement across the region.
The bridge design incorporates elements of traditional Korean architecture, with cables and girders following patterns similar to traditional roof tiles.
Drivers use the upper level while the railway operates on the lower level, connecting the airport with the city center. The best views of the structure come from train windows or from roads around the bridge supports.
The structure ranks among the world's longest double-deck bridges and combines two forms of transport on a single structure. This solution was globally unmatched when completed and remains replicated by only a handful of other facilities today.
