Yeosu-Korea-Dolsan Bridge #1

Dolsan Bridge is the largest cable-stayed girder bridge in Korea. Constructed between 1980 and 1984, the bridge is 450 meters long and 11.7 meters wide. It is in Yeosu city, Jeollanam-do, and joins Dolsan-do with the peninsular mainland. Its structure is a distinctive orange and white, though in 2000 a lighting system was added, which allows for the display of 50 different colors at night.

 

After crossing the bridge to the Dolsan-do side, there is a port from whence small cruise ships depart. These boats sail around the neighboring bays and islands, and the cruises last anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. The bridge is overlooked by Dolsan Park.
