10. The Incheon Bridge

Location: Incheon, South Korea Total Expense: $1.3 Billion* Completed Year: 2009 The Incheon Bridge in South Korea, developed and constructed primarily by the Samsung C&T Corporation joint venture, was completed in 2009. With a total cost of $1.3 billion, this project was certainly not inexpensive. However, witnessing this engineering marvel up close reveals the reasons behind its significant investment.

  The Incheon Bridge resembles a real-world Hot Wheels circuit that children often envision turning into swimming pools. This impressive structure connects Incheon International Airport to Songdo, the cityโ€™s primary business center. Spanning 13.2 miles across the Yellow Sea, it significantly reduces travel time, saving passengers nearly an hour on each journey compared to alternative routes.
