Anxin Bridge Introduction
The Ankeng Light Rail is approximately 7.5 kilometers long, linking the Ankeng area with New Taipei City's urban area, 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 stands 130 meters tall and is 502 meters long, making it the longest cable-stayed track bridge in Taiwan. The majestic structure of Anxin Bridge allows the Ankeng Light Rail trains to pass smoothly across the Xindian River, while the towering white bridge tower has become a new landmark in the Xindian area. It beautifully contrasts with the colorful circular line light rail bridges upstream and downstream, and the elegantly arched Xindian River Sunshine Bridge, together creating a skyline for the southern New Taipei area alongside the iconic Taipei 101 in the distance. In the future, as trains pass over Anxin Bridge, the truss bridge will gradually light up in the direction of the train's movement, providing a unique sight at night.
