Zhongsha Bridge, Road bridge in Changhua County, Taiwan

The concrete structure spans 2,345 meters across the Zhuoshui River, connecting Xizhou Township in Changhua County with Xiluo Township in Yunlin County.

Upon completion in October 1978, this engineering achievement held the record as Taiwan's longest bridge until 2004, when the Formosa Freeway surpassed it.

The bridge received its name from the combination of 'Zhong' representing Taiwan and 'Sha' for Saudi Arabia, which provided an interest-free loan for its construction.

The structure underwent seismic reinforcement after the 1999 earthquake and continues to serve as a critical transportation link on the National Highway 1.

A monument inscribed with 'Eternal Friendship' stands at the Xiluo Service Area, commemorating Saudi Arabia's financial support for the bridge construction.
