"This asymmetric design creates what CNN's Oscar Holland described as bearing Hadid's "signature" aesthetic, with "rounded edges and gently warped form" that remain distinctively hers even with the constraint of a single supporting mast."
"Hadid envisioned the structure as "a piece of dynamic and beautiful artwork that looks like it is dancing on the Tamsui River.""
"The president praised the project as "a work of art and a world-class project," calling it "Taiwan's glory.""
The final steel decking of the Danjiang Bridge was installed, connecting the east and west banks of the Tamsui River estuary and confirming an opening date of May 12, 2026. The bridge was designed by Zaha Hadid and represents one of the final projects she personally oversaw before her death in 2016. The structure will be the world's longest single-mast asymmetric cable-stayed bridge at 920 meters, featuring a 200-meter central mast supporting 450-meter and 175-meter spans. The design draws inspiration from Cloud Gate Dance Theatre and has been described as a work of art and national pride. The project emphasizes engineering innovation and environmental responsibility.
