A gap-type overhead transmission line includes a steel core member; a conductor layer positioned to surround the steel core member and having at least one strand wire aggregated therein; and a coating layer interposed in a solid state between the steel core member and the conductor layer so as to surround the steel core member, the coating layer including a material that is sublimated after the conductor layer is stranded so as to form a predetermined gap between the steel core member and the conductor layer.
