[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] The landmark pedestrian bridge project ‘Suyeonggang Human Bridge’ in Busan is set to begin construction in the second half of this year, aiming for completion in 2025.

On the 21st, Busan City held the final report meeting for the basic and detailed design services of the ‘Suyeonggang Human Bridge’ project and has started the related administrative procedures.

The Suyeonggang Human Bridge is a pedestrian bridge connecting Haeundae-gu’s Busan Cinema Center and residential areas in Suyeong-gu.

Along with the Golden Sunset Bridge connecting Hwamyung Ecological Park, the Riverwalk on the Gamdong Ferry Road, the Sasang Smart City pedestrian bridge connecting Samnak Ecological Park, and the pedestrian bridge under Daejeo Bridge, it is a landmark pedestrian bridge aimed at realizing a pedestrian-centered ‘15-minute living zone city.’

The bridge is 214 meters long and 7 to 18 meters wide, allowing bicycle use.

Approximately 30 billion KRW of public contribution funds from the ‘Hanjin CY Site Urban Management Plan Decision’ will be invested in the project cost.

The city plans to promptly proceed with the administrative procedures related to the construction of the Suyeonggang Human Bridge, start construction in the second half of this year, and aims for completion in 2025.

Busan City also plans to establish a trail connecting the Municipal Museum of Art, Busan Cinema Center, APEC Naru Park, Human Bridge, Paldo Market, Suyeong Historic Park, Beacon Ground, and F1963 to promote pedestrian tourism.

Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “When the Suyeonggang Human Bridge is completed in 2025, it will connect the Busan Cinema Center in Haeundae-gu and residential areas in Suyeong-gu, creating a waterfront cultural space and greatly contributing to the activation of pedestrian tourism.”
