Jangseong-gun to Open '2nd Suspension Bridge' on Jangseongho Lakeside Trail on Next Month 1st

Official Name 'Hwanggeumbit Suspension Bridge'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Oh Gil-su] Jangseong-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 27th that it will open the 2nd Suspension Bridge on the Jangseongho Lakeside Trail on the 1st of next month.

The official name of the 2nd Suspension Bridge has been decided as the ‘Hwanggeumbit Suspension Bridge’.

The location of the Hwanggeumbit Suspension Bridge is Yonggok-ri, Jangseong-eup, about 1 km away from the 1st Suspension Bridge (Yellow Suspension Bridge). It takes about 20 minutes on foot.

The length of the bridge is 154m, the same as the Yellow Suspension Bridge, and the width (1.8m) is 30cm wider.

The biggest difference from the Yellow Suspension Bridge is the structure. The Hwanggeumbit Suspension Bridge applies a ‘no-pylon’ method without main towers supporting both sides of the bridge.

The cables are connected to steel structures fixed to the ground instead of pylons, so the bridge gets closer to the water surface toward the middle.

Meanwhile, the convenience facilities ‘Neomsiljeong’ and ‘Chulleongjeong’ near the Yellow Suspension Bridge will also open for business.

At Chulleongjeong, located at the starting point of the Yellow Suspension Bridge, a convenience store is ready to welcome customers, and on the opposite side at Neomsiljeong, a caf? and a snack bar have completed preparations.

Yoo Doo-seok, the mayor of Jangseong-gun, said, “Jangseongho, the ‘inland sea,’ is a hot place visited by an average of 3,000 to 5,000 people on weekends throughout the four seasons,” adding, “We expect the Hwanggeumbit Suspension Bridge to offer visitors greater fun and travel enjoyment.”
