The Third Incheon Bridge (Korean인천 제3연륙교), or Third Yeonryuk Bridge, is a reinforced concrete cable-stayed bridge currently under construction in Incheon, South Korea. Construction began in December 2021 and is projected to be completed by 2025. The bridge will connect Cheongna International City in Seo District, Incheon and Jung District, Incheon on Yeongjongdo providing a third link to Incheon International Airport. In addition to a six-lane highway, pedestrian and cycle lanes will be installed, together with an observatory on one of the bridge's 180m towers. The bridge will connect to the Gyeongin Expressway and is projected to allow travel times from Yeongjongdo of 30 minutes to Yeouido and 45 minutes to Gangnam.[2]
