Hongyang Bridge

Hongyang Bridge is a highway viaduct spanning the Fazi River in Xitun, connecting different city sections through traffic lanes. The concrete and steel structure carries vehicles between residential and industrial zones with multiple lanes for directional flow.

The bridge opened in 2002 and marked a key milestone in developing Taichung's transportation network. The project improved connections between the city center and the region's growing industrial areas.

The bridge's name combines two Chinese characters meaning rainbow and sunrise, reflecting Taiwanese traditions of naming structures after natural phenomena. This naming approach is typical for infrastructure projects throughout the region.

The bridge operates daily for vehicle traffic and experiences regular monitoring, especially during peak hours. Visitors should expect traffic congestion when crossing during morning and evening rush times.

During peak hours, the bridge operates with a smart lane control system that adjusts traffic direction based on congestion levels. This system allows workers and volunteers to quickly redirect lanes and optimize traffic flow.
