Coal Transportation Bridge

Taipei Attractions

運煤橋

The transportation of coal from various mines to the coal preparation plant is carried out by diesel locomotives. The coal transport bridge was originally constructed in a three-tier iron bridge style. However, due to mining industry demands, it was rebuilt in August 1965 into a steel and concrete arc arch bridge and officially named "Rui San Bridge." Today, the bridge retains complete remnants for visitors to recall the prosperity of past mining activities. After July 2010, the coal transport bridge was refurbished to provide a safer passageway for tourists. The old tracks have been restored to reflect the original gauge, and carts are placed to fully exhibit the mining scene of the past. At night, lights are projected onto the bridge, making this landmark one of the photography spots for night photographers in Hohuan.
