Gadeok Bridge, Road bridge in Busan, South Korea
Gadeok Bridge is a road bridge that spans over 2 kilometers to connect Gadeok Island with mainland Busan using multiple concrete sections. The structure handles both car and pedestrian traffic across this important transportation corridor.
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 bridge takes its name from Gadeok Island and links two areas that were once separated by water. Today, this connection shapes how locals move between the island and mainland communities.
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.
Beyond simply connecting two places, the bridge enabled new settlement patterns and economic activities on the island. Many residents took advantage of the new connection to establish themselves on land that was previously harder to access.
