The New Taipei City Government and the Highway Bureau have held a series of celebration activities including visits, road runs, and cycling events starting from the 17th. Early this morning, many cyclists rode to Fisherman's Wharf to participate, gathering at the starting point around 6 AM.

In his speech, Chen Yen-po said that the Danjiang Bridge is not only an achievement for engineers but belongs to everyone. He hoped everyone would show their enthusiasm and ride onto the bridge together.
Chu Ti-chih stated that before the Danjiang Bridge, which connects Tamsui and Bali, opens to traffic, all cyclists can experience it step-by-step, walk across the bridge, and see the beauty of the Tamsui River together.
