Ligang Bridge

The Ligang Bridge (Chinese: 里港大橋; pinyin: Lǐgǎng Dàqiáo; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lí-káng Tōa-kiô) is a cable-stayed bridge in Taiwan. It carries Freeway 3 (Second Southern Freeway) across the Gaoping River from Dashu, Kaohsiung in the northwest and entering Jiuru, Pingtung County (although it is named for nearby Ligang).

It measures 2,617 meters (8,586 feet) long. The tower is 183.5 m (602 ft) tall (roughly the height of a 65-story building). The side span is 180 m (590 ft) long, while the main span is 330 m (1,080 ft) long.[1]
