1st MacArthur Bridge, Highway bridge in Taipei, Taiwan
The 1st MacArthur Bridge extends across the Keelung River with a main arch reaching 30 meters high and spanning 170 meters in length.
The bridge opened in May 1964 as part of the MacArthur Thruway project, which represented Taiwan's first controlled-access highway with support from the United States.
The structure received its name to commemorate General Douglas MacArthur, reflecting the strong connections between Taiwan and the United States during that period.
The bridge connects multiple expressways, including the Civic Boulevard East-West Expressway, Huandong Boulevard Expressway, and Tiding Boulevard Expressway in central Taipei.
This engineering marvel stands as the first single rib double-decker steel arch bridge in Taiwan, featuring a central Lohse Type Arch design with Vierendeel trusses.
