Gaomei Wetlands Landscape Bridge Introduction
The Gaomei Wetlands Scenic Bridge spans the 120-meter-wide Qingshui Dapai, with a total length of 265 meters and a width of 7.2 meters for its double-arched bridge deck. The total length of the approaches on both sides is 132 meters. The bridge was initially designed to integrate the features of the sunset, wetland, and wind turbines, while also connecting to the local history and culture of bamboo pole fishing boats. It cost over 200 million TWD and took nearly two years to construct, creating a unique bridge design not seen before in the country. To avoid impacting the local ecological environment, the bridge does not have piers in the river and employs a low insect-attracting lighting system. During construction, ecological monitoring was also conducted, with effective results. Additionally, wind tunnel tests confirmed that the bridge has good wind resistance, ensuring the structural safety of the bridge. With a complete network of bicycle paths and recreational viewing spaces, the Gaomei Wetlands Scenic Bridge is expected to further enhance tourism quality along the coastal line.
