Danjiang Bridge
Bridge at the estuary of Tamsui River
The Danjiang Bridge (Chinese: 淡江大橋; pinyin: Dànjiāng Dàqiáo; Tâi-lô: Tām-kang Tuā-kiô) is a road bridge spanning the mouth of the Tamsui River, which links Bali and Tamsui in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
The bridge was designed by architect ZHA Architects. It is a single-tower asymmetric cable-stayed bridge with a 920 metres (3,020 ft) long road, rail and pedestrian deck supported by a single 200 m (660 ft)-tall pylon.
01History
The bridge was commissioned by the Highway Bureau, and was designed to provide connection to the national highway system and to ease congestion on the Guandu Bridge that is situated further upstream. The construction of the bridge will also facilitate the expansion of the Danhai Light Rail, part of the city's light rail public transport system. In 2015, Zaha Hadid Architects, in collaboration with Leonhardt, Andrä & Partner and Sinotech Engineering Consultants, won the international competition to design the Danjiang Bridge.
