Anqing Bridge Introduction
The Ankeng Light Rail is approximately 7.5 kilometers long, connecting the Ankeng area with the district of Xindian, featuring 9 stations along the route. It runs from K1 Shuangcheng Station to K9 Shijizhang Station, where passengers can transfer to the Taipei Metro Circular Line. The most striking structure along the Ankeng Light Rail is the Anxin Bridge, which spans the Xindian River. This single-tower asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge reaches a height of 130 meters and is 502 meters long, making it the longest cable-stayed bridge for rail in Taiwan. The majestic structure of the Anxin Bridge allows the Ankeng Light Rail trains to smoothly traverse the Xindian River, while its towering white bridge tower has become a new landmark in the Xindian area. It beautifully complements the colorful cable-stayed bridges of the Circular Line upstream and downstream, as well as the gracefully arched Sunlight Bridge over the Xindian River, forming a skyline for the southern part of New Taipei City alongside the distant Taipei 101. In the future, as trains pass over the Anxin Bridge, the truss bridge will gradually illuminate in the direction of the train's movement, creating a unique night-time view.
