Dongmen Bridge, Steel arch bridge in Taichung, Taiwan.

The bridge spans 160 meters across Hanxi River with a central divider and four traffic lanes, featuring pedestrian walkways on both sides.

Constructed in July 2003 to replace an earlier concrete structure that collapsed during Typhoon Toraji, causing the tragic loss of three family members.

The bridge design incorporates three A-shaped structures symbolizing a family unit, reflecting Taiwanese values of familial protection and remembrance.

Located on Zhenxing Road, the 27.5-meter-wide structure connects the East District with Taiping District, serving as a primary transportation route.

The bridge received the 2008 Golden Road Award for its architectural design that commemorates the lives lost through its three distinctive arch supports.
