Ongryu Bridge, also spelled Okryu Bridge and Ongnyu Bridge, is a bridge on the Taedong River in and near Pyongyang, North Korea. Construction began in March 1958; the bridge was opened in August 1960.[1]

Located between the old Taedong Bridge before it and the Rungra Bridge above it, it is the fourth (heading upstream) of six Pyongyang bridges on the Taedong. It connects Chung-guyok on the Taedong's right (west) bank to Taedonggang-guyok on the left bank.[2] The famous restaurant Okryu-gwan is near its right foot, while the Juche Tower is located just south of its left foot.[1]

Construction

Ongryu Bridge is a prestressed concrete box girder bridge measuring approximately 700 by 28.5 metres (2,297 by 94 ft), with four lanes for cars.[1][2]
