[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Kim Yong-woo] The ‘Suyeon Bridge,’ connecting Suan-dong in Dongnae-gu and Geoje-dong in Yeonje-gu across Oncheoncheon Stream, will be opened.

Busan City (Mayor Park Hyung-jun) Construction Headquarters announced on the 27th that Suyeon Bridge will be fully opened from 11 a.m. on the 28th.

The newly constructed road is a total length of 400m (bridge length 115m) with 5 to 6 lanes in both directions, connecting ‘Samhan Mansion’ in Dongnae-gu and ‘Gwajeong Intersection’ in Yeonje-gu. The total project cost is 19 billion KRW, funded by 9.3 billion KRW from the national government and 9.7 billion KRW from the city.

The Construction Headquarters completed the basic and detailed design services from April 2017 to July 2018, started construction in January 2019, and finished the work in April this year.

According to the economic feasibility analysis of this project, the benefit-cost ratio (B/C) is 1.95, securing economic viability, and it was confirmed as a ‘3rd Metropolitan Area Congested Road Improvement Project’ by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in April 2016.

Suyeon Bridge is an ideal bridge for securing flood levels and channel space of the stream. It features aluminum composite panels on the exterior and LED lights shaped like the Milky Way, providing soft indirect lighting at night, offering residents strolling along Oncheoncheon a nighttime attraction harmonized with the natural scenery.

Busan Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “A living zone connecting Dongnae Intersection to Gwajeong Intersection will be secured,” adding, “It is also expected to function as a bypass road, helping to disperse traffic congestion.”
