東勢大橋, Concrete bridge in Dongshi District, Taiwan

The Dongshi Bridge extends 573 meters across the Dajia River, featuring 22 spans of prestressed I-beam construction and a 30-meter-wide deck.

Following the 921 earthquake in 1999, this bridge became the primary connection route for the Dongshi disaster area to access other regions.

Four dragon-horse sculptures by artist Yang Ying-feng stand at the bridge ends, serving as recognizable markers for residents returning home.

The bridge structure combines a central section completed in 1962 with two widened sides finished in 1988, supporting regional transportation needs.

The bridge uses different support systems, with rocker bearings in the original structure and rubber plate supports in the widened sections.
