But in many instances, cable-stayed bridges have certain key factors that engineers tend to value.<\/p><p>In Incheon Bridge\u2019s case, explains Kyung Lae Park, a manager in Samsung C&amp;T\u2019s Planning Department, aesthetic, financial and practical factors combined to make the idea of building a cable-stayed bridge more appealing.<\/p><p>Park explains, \u201cOne construction challenge was that the distance between the middle legs of the bridge needed to be over 600m so that ships could pass through unheeded. Generally speaking, projects such as these are then left with only 2 options for construction: cable-stayed or suspension. Building a cable-stayed bridge was the more economical solution in this case, and offered a very visually pleasing option.\u201d<\/p><p>Although every construction effort poses its own unique challenges, cable-stayed bridges offer distinct advantages. Park notes, \u201cCable-stayed bridges do not always provide the most economical option when building bridges. However, they do perform very well over long distances and are certainly easy on the eyes.\u201d<\/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-fd31906 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fd31906\" 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\/2016\/05\/1300x550_3-1-1.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6Mzk3NTcsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMTZcLzA1XC8xMzAweDU1MF8zLTEtMS5qcGcifQ%3D%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_3-1-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-39757\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_3-1-1.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_3-1-1-300x127.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2016\/05\/1300x550_3-1-1-1024x433.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-a761f50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a761f50\" 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>William Ibbs, professor of Construction Management at the University of California and President of the Ibbs Consulting Group, says, \u201cThe future of cable-stayed bridges is very bright.
