The Baimei Viaduct spans a total length of 2,160 meters. Its superstructure is divided into nine continuous segments, constructed using the span-by-span cast-in-place method. Of these, three segments adopt the conventional falsework method, while six utilize an advanced shoring system. The formwork and shoring system is highly standardized, mechanized, and modularized, allowing for multiple reuses. This approach significantly enhances both construction efficiency and on-site safety.

The Baimei Ridge Landscape Bridge, measuring 340 meters in length, is the first twin-tower steel webback bridge in Taiwan. Inspired by the shape of a grain of rice, the unique pylon design presents considerable construction challenges. The box girder adopts corrugated steel webs, a composite material solution that reduces the superstructure weight and mitigates seismic impacts. Upon completion, the bridge not only serves as a cultural and visual landmark but also represents a major advancement in Taiwan’s bridge design and construction capabilities.

Due to increasing traffic volume and the aging problem of the old Beigang Bridge that spans across Beigang River, the Directorate General of Highways, Ministry of Transportation and Communications has planned the new construction project of Matzu Bridge to solve the traffic issue.

The bridge is mainly divided into the main bridge and the approach spans, starting from the south end of Beigang County Wenjen Road, spanning the County Road 164 to Beigang River embankment, and ending at Sutsuo Village of Chiayi County Liaujiao Township. The total length is about 1.7km.

The cantilever work car is used in constructing the main column part, and it is done by segmental cantilever construction method. Its construction steps are generally divided into work car positioning, module assembly, concrete pouring, pre-stressed pulling, work car advancing, and external pre-stressed pulling. It is 32 segments at initial design, the final 6 segments be precast during construction because of design alteration. 18 sets cable consist with segmental No. 10 to 27. Cable pulling is done by means of pulling the steel tendons individually.

The Dadu–Hemei River-Crossing Bridge Project connects Taichung’s Dadu District and Changhua’s Hemei Township, two adjacent regions previously separated by the Wu River. With limited crossing options such as the Zhongzhang Bridge and Dadu Bridge, residents have long faced extended travel distances and traffic congestion. To address these issues, the Taichung City Government and Changhua County Government have jointly initiated this infrastructure project, implemented by the Public Works Section of the Construction Bureau, Taichung City Government, and executed by EARTH POWER Construction Co., LTD.

This bridge project is expected to significantly improve regional connectivity. In the future, it will connect to the Dadu Section of Taichung Metropolitan Route 4, National Freeways No. 1 and 3, and Provincial Highway 74, forming a more integrated transportation network. It will also help alleviate pressure on the heavily trafficked Route 61B, providing alternative access for large transport vehicles serving nearby industrial zones.

The Chiayi Railway Elevation Project, led by the Railway Bureau, MOTC, is a major infrastructure upgrade aimed at enhancing urban mobility and public safety. Contract C611, executed by Kedge Construction Co., Ltd., covers a section approximately 8.3 km in length—from 2.3 km north of Chiayi North Station to 3.5 km south of Chiayi Station.

The scope includes the construction of the elevated railway bridge, approach structures, auxiliary facilities, track works, demolition of three overpasses, backfilling of underpasses, and the development of roadways, drainage, and landscaping beneath the viaduct. For the first time, comprehensive noise and vibration mitigation measures are implemented to reduce impact on nearby residents.

Bulgar Eden Enterprise Co., LTD. is proud to contribute to this project with its trusted BE Post-Tensioning system, ensuring structural durability and construction quality. To minimize disruption to traffic, the design features pier-free support systems across key intersections and temporary noise barriers in sensitive areas, maintaining accessibility and community well-being.

Located in Xinyi Township, Nantou County, the Fongqiu Tunnel Viaduct sits adjacent to the Fongqiu Cut-and-Cover Tunnel. The nearby Shalidong Creek has long been prone to disasters due to frequent heavy rainfall, with a catastrophic landslide occurring in 2024 that caused severe damage.

To enhance traffic safety in this hazardous section, the Xinyi Public Works Section of the Directorate General of Highways initiated the bridge reconstruction project in July 2007. Despite a major landslide striking the area in September of the following year, the construction team expedited progress and successfully completed the main line works ahead of the original May deadline, opening the road quietly in late March.

The new viaduct, officially named the Shalidong Bridge, not only improves road safety but also symbolizes the hope of “freezing” or halting further disasters in the region.

The project’s branch line and all related facilities were fully completed as of yesterday, and with the entire infrastructure now in service, it is expected to significantly enhance the transportation resilience and travel safety of the Fongqiu area.
