(Central News Agency reporter Huang Chiao-wen, Taipei, 13th) The Danjiang Bridge opened yesterday, and the Danjiang Bridge Engineering Aesthetics Exhibition simultaneously commenced. The Directorate General of Highways stated today that the special exhibition is the first to publicly display 12 iterative models of the bridge tower bodies by the ZHA design team, guiding the public into the birth site of the new national gateway landmark through aesthetic design and engineering stories.
Connecting Tamsui and Bali in New Taipei City, the main bridge of Danjiang Bridge is approximately 920 meters long, with a main span of 450 meters, making it the world's longest single-tower asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge, designed by the internationally renowned architect Zaha Hadid Architects.
The Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Transportation and Communications, issued a press release stating that the Danjiang Bridge officially opened to traffic on May 12. The Danjiang Bridge Engineering Aesthetics Exhibition, held at the Danjiang Bridge Management Center, also opened simultaneously and will run until August 12. It is free for the public to reserve entry, and has attracted visitors since its opening, with enthusiastic interactive responses on site.
The Directorate General of Highways pointed out that this special exhibition is a rare exhibition in Taiwan with "engineering aesthetics" as its core theme, breaking the usual boundaries between engineering and art. It visualizes technical language through images and popular science information, transforming it into an easily understandable engineering narrative for the public, fully answering the construction and aesthetic mysteries of the new national gateway landmark.
The Directorate General of Highways stated that the exhibition hall uses a vertical narrative structure to help viewers delve deeper layer by layer, especially with the first public display of 12 iterative models of the bridge tower bodies by the ZHA design team, which attracted much attention like celebrities. Interactive devices are also set up for the public to experience bridge design firsthand.
The exhibition also includes ecological conservation records and bridge construction documentaries during the construction period, as well as the names of the unsung heroes, paying tribute to all engineering teams involved in the construction.
Lin Fu-shan, Director General of the Directorate General of Highways, stated that the promotion process of the Danjiang Bridge project was extremely arduous, having faced the major setback of failing to bid 7 times. The key to reaching today's achievement lies in the "organizational resilience" of the Directorate General of Highways and the "risk-taking of the decision-makers."
Lin Fu-shan also invited the public nationwide who are interested in Danjiang Bridge, design, arts and culture, and engineering to register and step into the birthplace of this bridge. He stated that through the aesthetic design philosophy, engineering practice techniques, and humanistic care that have never been fully disclosed, people can understand how to persist in the original intention and build the most beautiful new national gateway landmark in the most difficult place.
