Hwatae Bridge, Cable-stayed road bridge in Yeosu, South Korea.
Hwatae Bridge is a cable-stayed road bridge that carries traffic across the water in Yeosu and links different parts of the coastal city. The structure features tall concrete piers and metal cables that support the deck, with a prominent main span rising above the surrounding area.
The bridge opened in 2015 and was built to improve connections along National Road 77 in this coastal region. The project represented an important step forward for infrastructure in this part of South Korea.
The bridge design incorporates elements that enhance the waterfront structure while connecting communities across the Yeosu coastal region.
The crossing carries vehicles on a direct route over the water, so drivers can move between areas more efficiently. You can drive across it or stop at certain viewing points to see the structure and the surrounding water views.
Engineers implemented a double-tied arch design with a 220-meter central span, establishing a record length for this type of construction in Korea.
