Construction of the Machang Bridge was
commenced in the Second Quarter of 2004. The bridge will provide a vital link
across Masan Bay, alleviate congestion in the tri-city area of Masan,Jinhae, andChangwon, and be an alternative route
for travel between Korea’s two southern provinces, Jeollanam-do and
Gyeongsangnam-do. The 1.7-kilometer bridge is expected to see operations
commence in mid 2008.
