World Cup Bridge, River bridge in Yangpyeong-dong, South Korea

The World Cup Bridge is an asymmetric composite cable-stayed bridge over the Han River, linking Yanghwa-dong in Yeongdeungpo District with Sangam-dong in Mapo District, Seoul. Its single white concrete pylon rises 100 metres at a 78-degree incline, with cables fanning down to a 540-metre main span. The deck carries six lanes across a total length of 1.98 kilometres.

Construction of this bridge started in 2010 and finished in late 2023. The project faced several schedule changes before the new crossing over the Han River opened for traffic.

The bridge gained additional recognition when the music group BTS performed their song 'Butter' on its structure for The Tonight Show in July 2021.

Pedestrians and cyclists can use the dedicated paths to safely cross the bridge. The structure connects well with expressways and makes travel between different parts of Seoul easier.

The bridge's main pylon rises 100 metres above the deck at a 78-degree incline, and its main span measures 225 metres. It was the first asymmetric composite cable-stayed bridge built over the Han River, a design chosen through an international competition held in 2001.
