The largest bridge in South Korea will open on Friday

Seoul - A new superbridge will be officially opened on Friday in South Korea near the city of Incheon. Its construction took four years. It is the largest bridge in South Korea and the fifth largest suspension bridge of its kind in the world. This was reported today by the DPA agency.
    The new highway bridge spans over the sea and connects Incheon International Airport, located about 52 kilometers from the capital Seoul, with the new international business district of New Songdo City on the western edge of Incheon at a distance of 12.34 kilometers.
    According to the Incheon Bridge Corporation, the entire bridge structure is 21.3 kilometers long, making this South Korean bridge also the tenth longest bridge in the world. The title for the longest bridge is held by the Bang Na Expressway in Thailand, which measures 54 kilometers.
    The South Korean multi-lane bridge, with a span of 800 meters, cost approximately 1.4 billion dollars (about 24.5 billion crowns) and will significantly reduce travel time from the capital's territory to the airport.
