Guchuan Bridge, Road bridge in Pingtung County, Taiwan
The Guchuan Bridge extends 654 meters across the Laonong River tributary, connecting Sandimen and Wutai regions through a prestressed concrete structure at 99 meters height.
The bridge replaced the original Number 1 Bridge from 1972, which was destroyed during Typhoon Morakot in 2009, leaving the Wutai region temporarily isolated.
The bridge design incorporates Rukai tribal motifs, featuring lily flowers and hundred-pacer snake patterns, with a memorial dedicated to disaster relief heroes.
The construction required 7.3 billion New Taiwan dollars and employed 100 workers daily, with 80 percent being local indigenous people during the three-year building period.
The bridge structure includes nine spans with a 140-meter main span and only one pier in the riverbed, making it the tallest bridge pier in Taiwan.
