Professor BARTLETT proposed measures for adjusting the construction of the Second Ring Expressway


Dr. Steven F. BARTLETT, a professor of the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in the U Asia Campus recently proposed a construction plan for the Second Ring Expressway, using a tunnel to preserve the natural environment of the Songdo Coast in All That Songdo online community. With regard to an elevated highway in the vicinity of Incheon Bridge which is currently being discussed, he claimed that “It would not only cause severe noise pollution but also affect the sea view” and that “Noise pollution should be minimized and the sea view should be preserved as much as possible.” He also explained that it would be efficient to construct the road along the sea-wall and that minimizing curves of the road and building a closed-air causeway in the middle to create a space for people to enjoy the sea on it would be the best alternative. As a global specialist in environmental engineering, he has participated in such projects as Gunsan Saemangeum in South Korea, Disneyland in Shanghai, and Mission Rock in San Francisco.
