Gaomei Wetlands Scenic Bridge Introduction
The Gaomei Wetlands Scenic Bridge spans the 120-meter-wide Qingshui Dapai and has a total length of 265 meters with a width of 7.2 meters. The total length of the access roads on both sides is 132 meters. The bridge was initially designed to incorporate the features of sunsets, wetlands, and wind turbines, while also connecting to the local history and culture of bamboo raft boats. With an investment of over 200 million NTD, it took nearly two years to construct, creating a unique bridge design that is the first of its kind in the country. To avoid impacting the local ecological environment, the bridge was constructed without piers in the river and utilizes low-insect-attracting lighting systems. During the construction period, ecological monitoring was also conducted, yielding good results. Moreover, the bridge passed wind tunnel tests, confirming its excellent wind resistance and ensuring the safety of the bridge structure. The Gaomei Wetlands Scenic Bridge, along with a complete bicycle network and recreational viewing areas, is expected to further enhance the quality of tourism along the coast.
