en.Wedoany.com Reported - Construction of a landmark $760 million cable-stayed bridge in Taiwan, China, is nearing completion, with its opening scheduled for May 2026. Spanning the Tamsui River that flows through Taipei and connecting Bali and Tamsui, the bridge will become the world's largest single-pylon asymmetric cable-stayed bridge.

The bridge has a total length of 920 meters and a main span of 450 meters. It features two lanes in each direction for cars, vans, and trucks, along with dedicated lanes for motorcycles, pedestrians, and bicycles. The structure has reserved load-bearing capacity to accommodate a future planned light rail connection. Once the new link is completed, it will reduce travel times to the Taipei Port area and enhance regional transportation efficiency.

Construction is currently in its final stages, with the main structure completed. Subsequent work will involve road surfacing and the commissioning of electromechanical systems. The bridge employs a single-pylon asymmetric cable-stayed design, with an asymmetrical arrangement of the main pylon and cables, requiring high precision in positioning and cable force control during construction. With its 450-meter main span, it ranks first among similar cable-stayed bridges globally.

As a transportation infrastructure project, this cable-stayed bridge connects both banks of the Tamsui River, directly serving passenger and freight transport between the Taipei Port area and the northern coastal region. The lane configuration accommodates various modes of transport and reserves an interface for light rail, creating conditions for the integration of road and rail transit.

The project is currently in its final construction phase by the contractor to ensure it is put into service on schedule in May.
