Star-of-Cianjhen Bike Bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Cianjhen District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan
Star-of-Cianjhen Bike Bridge is a pedestrian and bicycle crossing in Kaohsiung featuring an arched steel frame with a pathway approximately 5 meters wide. The design includes overhead green areas and a pergola system with curves that cast layered shadows.
The bridge was built to solve safety issues at the complex intersection of Zhongshan 4th Road and Kaixuan 4th Road. This created an important crossing point for people on foot and on bicycles in this busy area.
The name references a local tale tied to the district's past. Visitors passing through sense this connection to the neighborhood's identity.
The bridge connects with three main cycling routes: the harborside path, the Qianzhen River route, and the Fengshan River route. This makes it a key junction in the regional bike network.
Three separate pathways branch from the central structure, offering multiple route choices. The combination of arched frame and pergola system creates a visually distinctive feature uncommon in typical urban bridges.
