The Geobukseon Bridge (Korean: 거북선대교), also called the Second Dolsan Bridge (제2돌산대교), is the main bridge on the Yeosu Road between Udu-ri, Dolsan and Jonghwa-dong, linking the Port of Yeosu with Dolsando across the Namhae sea.[2] The bridge is floating cable-stayed bridge with 464m (35+82+230+82+35m) length and its construction started in June 2008. It opened in April 2012 and carries four lanes of motor vehicle traffic.[1] The new link was intended to reduce traffic congestion on the First Dolsan Bridge which opened in 1985, and act as an important infra-structure link during the Yeosu Expo which had been held from May, 2012 for three months. The bridge was built by contractor Daelim Industrial Co. Ltd for client Iksan Regional Construction & Management Administration. Contract cost is US$60million, which includes a 460m long tunnel at one end, and a 280m long approach bridge.[3]
