Geumgang Railroad Bridge, Gongju

This iron bridge was built to connect Gongju-eup and Jangji-myeon, areas of key importance for transportation, and was the longest bridge south of the Hangang River at the time. Most iron bridges built nationwide at that time were railway bridges, but the Geumgang Railroad Bridge was unusually built as a road bridge, making it a rare example; its design, with the top chord of a Warren truss structure bent into a curved arch, is regarded as having opened a new chapter in the history of bridge construction at the time.
