Excerpt from Wikipedia
The Yeongjong Bridge(영종대교) is a self-anchored suspension double-deck road-rail bridge located in Incheon, South Korea, linking Yeongjong Island to the Korean mainland. The bridge is part of the Incheon International Airport Expressway and was completed in 2000.
The total length of the bridge is 4,420 m (14,500 ft), of which the main suspension bridge takes 550 m (1,800 ft), a truss bridge 2,250 m (7,380 ft) and a steel box girder bridge 1,620 m (5,310 ft).
The main suspension bridge has two decks and carries motor vehicles and AREX train.
