Chongcui Bridge, Motor vehicle bridge in New Taipei, Taiwan
Chongcui Bridge crosses the Dahan River and links multiple districts of New Taipei City. It features separate roadways for cars on its main span, with dedicated lanes alongside for motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
A wooden bridge first crossed this location in 1889, though it was replaced several times over the decades. The current structure opened in 2009 and continues the long tradition of river crossing at this point.
The bridge serves as a daily crossing point for residents and has become a natural reference point for navigation across the city. It connects neighborhoods that would otherwise be separated by the river.
The bridge is straightforward to cross on foot or by bike thanks to clearly marked pedestrian and bicycle paths. Approaching from the riverside offers good views of the structure from either bank.
Nearby Metro stations like Taipei Bridge Station and Daqiaotou Station reference this crossing as a key landmark for navigation. These stations demonstrate how central the bridge is to the region's transportation network and city orientation.
