Gadeok Bridge, Road bridge in Busan, South Korea
Gadeok Bridge is a 1,120 m road bridge with a 780 m sea crossing, 11 spans and a maximum span of 80 m, linking the Noksan industrial complex in Songjeong-dong, Gangseo District, to Nulcha Port in Nulcha-dong on Gadeokdo. It is a double-deck sea bridge, 21 to 35 m wide, and connects directly to the Gadeok undersea tunnel of the Busan–Geoje Fixed Link.
The bridge was completed in 2010 and marked a turning point in Busan's infrastructure development. This project opened a direct link between the island and mainland that did not exist before.
The name comes from Gadeokdo, the island the bridge serves; the crossing runs from Nulcha-dong on Nulchado over Busan New Port to Songjeong-dong in the Noksan industrial complex. It is the starting point of the Gadeok–Geoje road, where intercity buses from Geoje to Busan, Ulsan and Daegu pass through.
The bridge is open year-round for both vehicles and pedestrians, providing a direct route between the island and mainland. During busy times, crossing can take longer, so planning your journey outside rush hours is helpful.
The bridge is the starting point of Busan Metropolitan Route 17, the Geoga-daero, and connects directly to the Gadeok undersea tunnel of the Geoga Bridge. Through that link, intercity buses run from Geoje Island to Busan, Ulsan and Daegu.
