Until relatively recently, the idea of building a road crossing to Yeongjong Island seemed like an impossibility.<\/p><p>The construction of the airport in the 1990s, however, made a road crossing an absolute necessity. Now, 16 years after the airport first opened, there are two.

For a start, captains and pilots sailing in and out of Incheon port needed to know that the new bridges would not interfere with their operations. Large bridges require tall pylons, which could also potentially pose a risk to air traffic when building near an airport. And to add to the complication, the bridges also necessitated construction on tidal flats.<\/p><p>The first, built a year before the airport opened, was the 4.4km Yeongjong Bridge. With both highways and rail lines on its decks, it was the world\u2019s first self-anchored suspension bridge. It was built high enough to avoid obstructing ships \u2013 10,000-ton sea vessels can pass underneath it. Care was also taken to avoid interfering with flight paths. And in order to solve tidal flats issues the company used its deep cement mixing experience (currently being put to use in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/samsung-ct-wins-deep-cement-mixing-works-hong-kong-three-runway-system-project\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hong Kong\u2019s airport expansion<\/a>).<\/p><p>Yeongjong Bridge\u2019s designers were keen to make the structure architecturally attractive \u2013 and distinctly Korean as possible, seeing as it is one of the first structure many visitors to Korea encounter. The shape of the cable and girders were intended to resemble the eaves of a\u00a0<em>hanok<\/em>, a traditional Korean slate-roofed house.<\/p>\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-ad7b24c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ad7b24c\" 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\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/03\/ready2-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Mzk4MjIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMTdcLzAzXC9yZWFkeTItMS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/03\/ready2-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-39822\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/03\/ready2-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/03\/ready2-1-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/03\/ready2-1-1024x433.jpg 1024w\" 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\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-056ae8a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"056ae8a\" 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\t\t<p>The bridge has now become a tourist attraction in its own right.

The result, after many years of planning, was the 21.4km cable-stayed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/cable-stayed-bridges-connecting-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Incheon Bridge<\/a>. The new bridge allowed travelers from Southern Seoul to reduce their journey time to the airport by around 30 minutes, and relieve the burden on the overworked Yeongjong Bridge.<\/p><p>Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Engineering and Construction Group Professional Manager Young Woo Kim worked on the Incheon Bridge project. He explains that unlike Yeongjeong Bridge, the Incheon Bridge project posed multiple shipping issues, as it was constructed across the main route of Incheon Port\u2019s southern section.<\/p><p>Kim notes that high-tech solutions helped solve the problem. He says, \u201cWe made sure to provide plenty of room between pillars for even wider boats to sail through. We also installed an anti-collision signaling system. Both measures are of great help to boats navigating in the area.\u201d<\/p><p>Kim also explains that the unique tidal patterns in the region called for special construction measures. He notes, \u201cIt became quite a precise operation for us, as the tidal flats we were building on have fast-flowing waters that move at river-like speeds. We had to time our movements carefully, too. When the tide was low, certain parts of the bridge became cut off, so we had to wait for the high tide to ferry staff and equipment to and from these sections.\u201d<\/p><p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.samsungvillage.com\/blog\/2015\/04\/14\/creating-a-landmark-structure-samsungs-bridge-engineer-lists-his-name-on-marquis-whos-who\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Marquis Who\u2019s Who-listed Dong Kyu Park<\/a>, deputy general manager in Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Bid Design department for Bridge and Structure, was a key member of the Incheon Bridge team. Park helped make the structure earthquake-proof, using PSC (Pre-Stressed Concrete) technology.<\/p><p>Park explains, \u201cPSC bridges are built with a special type of steel wire that helps structure remain bend-proof should an earthquake strike.
