三鶯大橋, Cable-stayed bridge in Sanchong District, Taiwan
The Sanchong-Yingge Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge that spans the Erchong Floodway in New Taipei, stretching roughly 1 kilometer across the water. It features a single pylon with a distinctive form that stands out when viewed from a distance.
The bridge was originally known as the Erchong Floodway Cable-Stayed Bridge and received its current name in 2010 when Taipei County became New Taipei City. This renaming reflected the administrative restructuring of the region.
The central pylon takes on a shape that echoes the Chinese character for 'north', expressing local architectural identity through its inverted Y-form. This design becomes especially visible when walking or cycling beneath it.
The bridge connects multiple cycling routes including the Dahan and Xindian riverside cycleways, with dedicated lanes for bicycles and pedestrians. Both paths are well-marked and allow for long cycling distances along the river areas.
The structure stands as Asia's longest symmetrical single-pylon cable-stayed bridge, making it a remarkable engineering achievement. This technical accomplishment becomes especially memorable through its striking skyline profile.
