柑園二橋, Cable-stayed bridge in Sanchong District, Taiwan
Gangyuan Second Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Erchong Floodway in Sanchong District. It carries vehicle traffic while providing separate paths for bicycles and pedestrians on both sides.
Construction of the bridge began in 2010 and finished in 2011, coinciding with Taipei County's transformation into New Taipei City. This project marked an important moment in regional infrastructure development.
The main tower design incorporates an inverted Y shape that mirrors the Chinese character for 'north' when viewed from specific angles against the Taipei skyline.
The bridge can be easily explored on foot or by bicycle thanks to its dedicated pathways. Visitors should be cautious during windy weather or heavy traffic times, as the roadway can be busy.
This engineering achievement holds the distinction of being Asia's longest symmetrical single-pylon cable-stayed bridge and Taiwan's eighth cable-stayed bridge construction.
