Baling Bridge_Baling Grand Bridge_Baling Old Bridge Introduction
In the vast and lush forest, the Baling Bridge is a light pink ribbon that spans both ends of the Dahan River, providing travelers heading to the peach homeland with a delightful surprise. Listed among the top three famous bridges on the North Cross-Island Highway (the other two being the Luofu Bridge and the Dahan Bridge), the Baling Bridge was completed in 2005 and is an important landmark that must be visited in the Baling area. The steel bridge is 220 meters long, with a maximum span of 185 meters, making it the crown jewel of the bridges along the Dahan River. Compared to the old Baling Bridge, which can only accommodate one-way traffic and is only 4.5 meters wide, the Baling Bridge is far more effective in terms of traffic; with a total width of 11.5 meters, it has 7.5-meter-wide two-way lanes and a 1.5-meter-wide pedestrian walkway, alleviating the traffic flow during weekends for those traveling to Lala Mountain and Jiao Ban Mountain. The flowing curves of the Dahan River present a magnificent momentum, and walking on it allows one to appreciate the remarkable architectural craftsmanship.
