Changseon-Samcheonpo Bridge

Changseon-Samcheonpo Bridge is a 4.1 kilometer road crossing that links Sacheon to Namhae Island, combining cable-stayed towers with arched spans in its structural design. The bridge features wide driving lanes, pedestrian walkways on both sides, and several pullout areas for stopping and viewing.

The bridge opened in 2006, ending the ferry-dependent era for Changseon residents and dramatically changing regional connectivity. Its completion marked a turning point that allowed direct road access for communities that had previously been separated by water.

The bridge connects communities where fishing traditions remain central to daily life, with locals and visitors crossing between areas that maintain distinct coastal practices. It has become a natural passage that blends modern infrastructure with traditional settlement patterns.

The bridge is accessible around the clock for vehicles and pedestrians with clear sightlines across the water. Visitors should plan timing to match lighting conditions, as sunlight angles change throughout the day and affect photo opportunities and views.

The bridge features a lighting system that activates after dark, illuminating the cable stays and arched sections against the night sky. This creates a striking visual contrast that enhances the crossing during evening and nighttime hours.
