Yeongjong Bridge, Suspension bridge in Incheon, South Korea

The Yeongjong Bridge extends 4,420 meters across the water, incorporating a double-deck design that accommodates both vehicular traffic and train service.

The construction of this transportation link began in November 1995 and required five years to complete, with an investment of 1.4 billion dollars.

The bridge design incorporates elements of traditional Korean architecture, with cables and girders following patterns similar to traditional roof tiles.

The upper deck carries automobiles while the lower level supports the AREX train service, connecting mainland South Korea to Incheon International Airport.

This structure stands as the first three-dimensional self-anchored suspension bridge constructed worldwide, featuring three distinct engineering sections.

Industrial constructions: global technical and architectural innovations

This collection brings together major technical achievements that have marked the history of modern engineering. From the Hoover Dam on the Colorado, built in 1936 to produce hydroelectric power, to the ITER nuclear fusion project in France, which represents the future of energy research, these structures exemplify human boldness and skill. Each structure serves a specific purpose: crossing natural obstacles like the Brooklyn Bridge, connecting Manhattan to Brooklyn since 1883, facilitating maritime trade with the Panama Canal between the Atlantic and Pacific, or pushing height limits with the Burj Khalifa at 828 meters. These achievements are visited around the world and often offer remarkable experiences. The Eiffel Tower welcomes 7 million visitors each year who ascend to discover Paris from its 324-meter height. Shanghai's Maglev allows travel at 430 kilometers per hour thanks to magnetic levitation. The Millau Viaduct crosses the Tarn Valley at 343 meters above sea level over 2,460 meters in length. These engineering landmarks invite understanding of how industrial architecture has shaped our modern world, combining functional necessity with technical prowess that continues to fascinate visitors worldwide.
