Yeosu City Temporarily Opens Seonso Bridge Connecting Ungcheon and Soho on the 20th

Expecting Smooth Traffic Flow on the 4-Lane Two-Way Road from Ungcheon to Soho (Length 1,154m)

[Yeosu=Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Cheol-hoon] Jeonnam Yeosu City announced that it will begin temporary opening of the ‘Seonso Bridge,’ which connects Ungcheon and Soho, starting from 8 a.m. on June 20, ahead of its completion.

The construction progress rate is 96%, and after the temporary opening on the 20th, it is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.

According to the city, the temporary opening was originally planned for the end of May, but due to unstable international conditions causing difficulties in material supply, it was delayed by about a month.

The road between Ungcheon and Soho, which began construction in July 2018, is a four-lane road with a total length of 1,154 meters. The ‘Seonso Bridge,’ an asymmetrical curved cable-stayed bridge, spans 550 meters, and the access road is 640 meters long.

The temporary opening on the 20th is expected to greatly contribute to alleviating traffic congestion from Ungcheon to the ecological tunnel and City Hall direction.

Additionally, the city is currently installing landscape lighting on Seonso Bridge and expects it to become a landmark illuminating the Yeosu night sea along with Dolsan Bridge and Geobukseon Bridge.

Meanwhile, since March, Yeosu City has been soliciting names for the Ungcheon-Soho sea bridge, finally confirming ‘Seonso Bridge’ and is currently requesting review from the National Geographic Names Committee.
