• It is composed of 3 types of bridges, cable stayed bridge, approach bridge

and viaduct with precast prestressed concrete box girder decks.
• The box girder normally comprises prestressed concrete, structural steel,
or a composite of steel and reinforced concrete.
• The FSLM (Full Span Launching Method) 1is being successfully applied to
the viaducts of the Incheon Bridge. This method made it possible to
construct the long marine viaducts over 8 kilometers.
• Each 50 m-long concrete box girder is fabricated using steam-curing system
and pre-tension method.
• To withstand earthquakes and storms, it is designed to be safe in a 72m/s
wind or a 7.0 Richter Scale earthquake.

CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Foundations are drilled piles 44 Fender-like Ship Collision Protectors are

3m in diameter; with depth
varying from 15 to 33 metres
of bored piled foundations.
planted in the waters to reduce the potential
impact to protect the ships from collisions and
minimal the damage which were penetrated into
the bedrock under the seabed
