Bitan Bridge, Formosa Freeway

Bitan Bridge is a concrete arch bridge that spans the Xindian River in Xindian District, linking different sections of the Formosa Freeway. The structure was built to carry vehicle traffic smoothly across the water and connect various parts of the regional highway system.

Construction of Bitan Bridge finished in 1997 and marked a major expansion of Taiwan's highway infrastructure during that period. Its completion helped improve transportation connectivity across the New Taipei City region.

The bridge forms part of the transportation heritage of New Taipei City, reflecting the engineering capabilities and infrastructure development of Taiwan.

This bridge is easily accessed via the Formosa Freeway and serves millions of vehicles yearly. The best time to cross is early morning or late evening when traffic is lighter.

The bridge stands alongside two other bridges from different periods, creating a visual timeline of engineering progress in the region.
