But as different modes of transport developed and people wanted to carry more objects, the need to build smoother, more solid bridges became apparent. Today, bridge construction technologies and techniques have become a separate science. Not content to merely traverse uneven terrain and rivers, we are now able to cross seas and oceans connecting islands to the mainland and to different parts of a mainland divided by water. Here we introduce six impressive and important sea bridges in Asia and the Middle East starting from East Asia and moving westwards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cbd4036 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cbd4036\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Yeongjong Bridge<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7e27dc elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c7e27dc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.23.0 - 05-08-2024 *\/\n.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=\".svg\"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}<\/style>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-1-Yeongjing_Bridge-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzcyNjksInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA2XC9zZWEtYnJpZGdlcy1waG90by0xLVllb25namluZ19CcmlkZ2UtMS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-1-Yeongjing_Bridge-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37269\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-1-Yeongjing_Bridge-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-1-Yeongjing_Bridge-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f0a0761 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f0a0761\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Yeongjong Bridge connects the northeast of the Island that hosts Incheon International Airport to the Korean mainland.

Unlike most such bridges, where each end of a cable is fixed to a large anchorage block on the ground, Yeongjong is self-anchored, meaning the cables are attached to each end of the bridge\u2019s deck itself. Seen from above, the suspension span of Yeongjong Bridge resembles the tiled roof of a traditional Korean house floating on the blue sea, and the main towers remind us of the round shape of a traditional Korean ceramic storage jar. Also, while most suspension cables have the same width from end to end, here they are very wide at both ends, narrowing as they reach the top of the two towers. As a result, with the vertical suspenders hung at a diagonal angle, this 3-dimensional cable arrangement allows Yeongjong Bridge to be more resistant to wind.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-607bf2a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"607bf2a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Incheon Bridge<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3f9e35f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3f9e35f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-2-Incheon_Bridge-1-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzcyNzAsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjBcLzA2XC9zZWEtYnJpZGdlcy1waG90by0yLUluY2hlb25fQnJpZGdlLTEtMS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-2-Incheon_Bridge-1-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-37270\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-2-Incheon_Bridge-1-1.jpg 940w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/06\/sea-bridges-photo-2-Incheon_Bridge-1-1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4b4270 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d4b4270\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Also over Korea\u2019s West Sea, Incheon Bridge connects the south of Yeongjong Island to the Korean mainland.

Construction by Samsung C&amp;T E&amp;C took 52 months, from July 2005 to October 2009, less than the time it took to build the shorter Yeongjong Bridge. The main section of the bridge is cable-stayed, which means that unlike a suspension bridge the cables that handle the load of the deck are attached directly to one or more towers. Those of Incheon Bridge are like two giant upside-down letter Ys connected to the deck by 208 cables in a semi-fan-shaped arrangement. The deck is high enough for even large ships to pass underneath, making the bridge a welcoming gateway to the port of Incheon.<\/p><p>Recognized for its advanced technology, high efficiency and quality achieved at low costs, Incheon Bridge won the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.incheonbridge.com\/eng\/company\/award\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tanaka Award for Excellence in Bridge Design and Construction<\/a>\u00a0given by the Japanese Society of Civil Engineers in 2010, and in 2011 it was chosen as a finalist in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.asce.org\/oceakit\/?all_recipients=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Outstanding Civil Engineering Achievement Award Competition<\/a>\u00a0by the American Society of Civil Engineers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-841e8bf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"841e8bf\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Hong Kong\u2013Zhuhai\u2013Macau Bridge<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2356afe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2356afe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Moving away from South Korea there is the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.
