Design and Construction of Hwamyung Bridge

Hwamyung Bridge over the Nakdong River is the largest cast-in place concrete cable stayed bridge in Korea with a center span of 270m and side span of 115m each. The stay-cables are spaced at 6.8m along the box girder and arranged in a semi-harp configuration. They are anchored at central single towers with vertical leg extending 65m above the deck. With the closure of center span in November 2010, the erection of cable and box girder, which is a major portion of the bridge construction, was completed.
