The Busan to Geoje fixed link project is an ambitious scheme to reduce journey times between Korea's south coast city of Busan and the island of Geoje - a tourist hot-spot and home to the country's biggest shipbuilding yards.
This world class project will provide an 8.2km highway link between the southern city of Busan and the island of Geoje in South Korea. The overall link comprises two major cable stayed bridges, with main spans of 230m and 475m respectively, and a 3.4km long immersed tunnel. The tunnel, which will carry traffic at a depth of up to 48m below sea level to avoid large container ships, is one of the deepest in the world.

Halcrow TEC JV have been appointed Technical Advisers to Daewoo Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd, who are leading the consortium which has been awarded the concession to design, construct and operate this vital US$1100m transport link, to be completed by 2009.
Halcrow–TEC JV are providing advice to Daewoo on many aspects of the design and construction of the link, together with advice on contracts and contract strategy (including design contracts) and project organization.
On completion in late 2010, the link will slash journey times from three and a half hours to just 40 minutes. It will open up the region to a wealth of previously untapped business and tourism opportunities thus boosting the economy.
