Badu Railway Bridge

The Badu Railway Bridge is a steel structure that spans the Keelung River and carries trains between the riverbanks in northern Taiwan. The bridge uses a through truss design with its northern section directly connecting to Badu Station's platforms.

The bridge was built to connect the Keelung and Badu regions, creating a crucial link in Taiwan's railway development. This improvement in transportation connectivity played a key role in shaping how the northern region grew and expanded.

The bridge remains part of the railway line that connected northern Taiwan's towns and enabled the movement of people and goods between regions that were previously more isolated.

The best way to see the bridge on foot is from Badu Station, which connects directly to the structure. The bridge itself is not open to pedestrian traffic, but you can view it from the station platforms or from the surrounding area.

What makes this bridge unusual is that it integrates directly into Badu Station's platform structure rather than simply crossing over it. This seamless connection is a distinctive feature where the bridge and station function as a single integrated element.
