This week, Taiwan cut the red ribbon on a giant infrastructure project its own construction team once deemed "impossible:" the 3,000-ft-long Danjiang.
The structure features a single-tower asymmetric cable-stayed design courtesy of Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA), and is the longest of its kind in the world. Its form is said to minimize its visual impact and impedance of sunset views over the Tamsui River from popular spots nearby – and it's engineered to withstand severe earthquakes too.
This bridge spans the mouth of the Tamsui River near northern Taiwan, and connects Bali in New Taipei City with Tamsui district. ZHA noted that it would shave off 25 minutes of travel time between the two as commuters crossed the river.
