Chong Yang Bridge, Cable-stayed bridge in Sanchong District, Taiwan.
Chong Yang Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge spanning the Erchong Floodway and Dahan River, connecting Sanchong and Banqiao districts in New Taipei. The single-pylon structure accommodates separate pathways for cars, motorcycles, bicycles, and pedestrians.
The bridge opened in 1991, replacing earlier structures that had served as vital links across the waterways since the late 1800s. Its construction marked an important shift in modern transportation infrastructure for the region.
The main tower's design incorporates the inverted Y shape, representing the Chinese character for north, reflecting the bridge's location in New Taipei City.
Morning hours are typically quieter with lighter traffic, making it more pleasant for walking or cycling across. Dedicated pathways are clearly marked, so navigation is straightforward for all visitors.
Standing at 135.75 meters high, this structure holds the record as Asia's longest symmetrical single-pylon cable-stayed bridge.
