The Noryang Bridge, also known as the Second Namhae Bridge, is a landmark suspension bridge connecting Hadong and Namhae in South Korea's South Gyeongsang Province. The bridge spans 890 metres, making it the third-longest suspension bridge in South Korea.
A standout feature of the Noryang Bridge is its inclined main towers, angled at 8 degrees, which form a striking 'V' shape. This innovative design reduces tension on the main cables and symbolises the historic Battle of Noryang. The bridge also incprorates 3D streamlined cables, a world-first, enhancing wind resistance and structural ability. In addition to its aesthetic and symbolic significance, the bridge provides critical infrastructure, improving transportation and economic connectivity between regions. Spanning a total length of 3.1km, including approach roads, the comlpetion of the bridge has garnered international interest as a key infrastructure and cultural landmark.
