Duwei Old Bridge

The Duwei Old Bridge stretches 127 meters across the Mawuku River, connecting Chenggong Township with Donghe Township through its concrete structure.

Constructed in 1926 during Japanese colonial rule, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 1953 following damage from a typhoon while maintaining its original tower height.

The bridge stands as an example of Japanese colonial infrastructure development in Taiwan, reflecting the engineering methods and architectural styles of that period.

Currently designated for pedestrian use only, the bridge measures 4.65 meters in width and features an arch-shaped pier on its northern end.

The bridge incorporates two different foundation types: hard limestone soil supports the northern pier, while soft sedimentary rock anchors the southern structure.
