Coal Transport Bridge

Taipei Attractions

運煤橋

The transportation of coal from various mine entrances to the coal preparation plant is carried out by diesel locomotives. The coal transport bridge was originally built as a three-layer iron bridge, but due to mining needs, it was rebuilt in August 1965 as a steel-reinforced concrete arch bridge, officially named "Ruizhan Bridge." It currently retains complete remains for tourists to reflect on the former prosperity of mining. The bridge has been renovated since July 2010 to provide a safer passage for visitors, and the old railway track has been restored to recreate the original track gauge experience. Trolleys have been placed to fully showcase the old mining scenes. Additionally, lights are projected onto the bridge at night, making this landmark a popular choice for nighttime photographers in Houtong.
