One of the most recent places to sightsee is the Ulsan Harbor Bridge in Ulsan, South Korea. Ulsan, which is Ulsan's 7th largest city in South Korea needed a long-span suspension bridge to counter the continuing population growth of the city. They then came up with the decision to construct the Ulsan Harbor Bridge. The construction of the bridge began in 2010 and finished in June 2015. It crosses the Tae-Hwa River and connects the western and eastern metropolis areas of Ulsan. It is now the 22nd longest bridge in the world. See this list to see where the Ulsan Harbor Bridge is ranked among other famous suspension bridges in the world.
The goal of this bridge was to reduce traffic congestion in Downtown Ulsan and to help drive the development of Ulsan as it continues to gain more popularity. It also allows two-way barge traffic. The bridge has four lanes of traffic and a 300-meter navigation clearance of at least 60 meters of height.
If you happen to being doing business in the industrial section of Ulsan, you can visit the Ulsan Bridge Observatory. You can go here along with Daewangam Park and Ilsan Beach, which are all great places to check out and very close to each other. You can also stay at the Hyundai Hotel Ulsan, which is about a 5-7 minute taxi ride from all of them.
The best way to see this bridge is to either take a taxi while you're staying in the Jung-gu area of Ulsan or take the Ulsan city tour bus which can be found here.
