The Paldang Bridge (Korean: 팔당대교; Korean pronunciation: [pʰalt͈aŋ]) crosses the Han River in South Korea and connects the cities of Hanam and Namyangju. Excluding the single-lane bridge built on top of the Paldang Dam, it is the easternmost bridge on the Han River.[1]
Construction on the bridge began in May 1986 as the second concrete bridge over the Han River after Olympic Bridge.[2] Construction was halted in March 1991, however, when a portion of the bridge collapsed due to strong winds and killed one construction worker on site.[3] Inspections revealed structural damage, prompting a change in construction methods. Construction resumed in October 1991,[4] but was halted again in May 1992 after further structural damage was discovered.[5] Initial designs were scrapped, and the bridge was opened as a girder bridge on April 25, 1995.[6]
