Namhae-gun, Traffic Control on Namhae Bridge for 4 Months ... Safety Reinforcement

Replacement of New Expansion Joints from August 16 to December 15

Namhae-gun, Gyeongnam Province will completely restrict access to Namhae Bridge for four months from the 16th of this month to December 15th.

During this period, Namhae-gun plans to carry out expansion joint construction to reinforce the safety of Namhae Bridge, which has been in operation for over 50 years.

Additionally, as part of the Namhae Bridge tourism resource development project, construction of a welcome center, an observatory, and installation of landscape lighting are underway. To prevent accidents caused by falling objects during construction, a full closure of the bridge is unavoidable.

Namhae-gun has decided to conduct a full closure for about four months, avoiding the peak summer vacation season, by coordinating the construction schedule through interdepartmental consultations to minimize inconvenience and confusion for residents and to complete both projects simultaneously.

Since changes to existing bus routes due to the closure are expected to cause inconvenience to users, Namhae-gun plans to do its best in installing temporary bus stops and promoting the changes.

The closure period is from the 16th of this month to December 15th, and to expedite the completion of the projects, vehicle traffic will be restricted on a section of approximately 1.5 km connecting Noryang Samgeori and Hadong Roundabout.

An official from Namhae-gun stated, “We will strive to shorten the closure period by advancing the projects as quickly as possible, and since this is a project for the tourism resource development and safety of Namhae Bridge, a symbol of our county, we ask for the understanding and interest of the residents.”
