Zhongxiao Bridge, Concrete bridge in Taipei, Taiwan
Zhongxiao Bridge is a multi-lane concrete bridge spanning the Keelung River that links two major districts of Taipei. It features separate vehicle lanes in both directions and sidewalks on each side for pedestrians and cyclists.
The bridge opened in 1982 to meet growing traffic demand between developing districts east and west of the river. Its completion was part of a broader plan to modernize urban transportation links across Taipei during the early eighties.
The bridge functions as a central meeting point for residents and commuters who traverse between different districts of Taipei throughout the day.
You can reach the bridge via several main roads leading to the riverfront from different parts of the city, with multiple metro stations within walking distance. Pedestrians should use the side walkways, which provide access along the entire length and connect to streets in the adjacent neighborhoods at both ends.
The walkways on the bridge offer a clear view of the waterway below, where you can often spot small boats and occasional waterfowl during the day. Along the banks beneath the bridge, small parks and green spaces are used by locals and visitors for walking or resting.
