Geogeum Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Goheung County, South Korea.
Geogeum Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge in Goheung County that spans across water to connect two areas. The structure combines a central cable-stayed section with additional approach spans to create a complete crossing.
Construction of the bridge began in the early 2000s and took roughly a decade to complete. The project became a major infrastructure development that significantly improved connections across the water between communities.
The bridge creates new connections between Geumgando in Geumsan-myeon and Sorok-do in Doyang-eup, transforming local communities through improved accessibility.
Vehicles travel on the upper level while pedestrians and cyclists use dedicated paths on a separate layer. This separation keeps different types of traffic organized and safe.
The bridge introduced an innovative two-level design in its country that separated motor vehicles from foot traffic. This engineering approach later inspired similar solutions on other crossing projects.
