The Wutai Highway on Taiwan Line 24 is the main road leading to the scenic spots of Sandimen Township and Wutai Township in Pingtung County. Among them, the Wutai Guchuan Bridge has always been a scenic bridge for Wutai residents and tourists to go back and forth. It is 654 meters long, 10 meters wide, and has a pier height of 99 meters. It is currently the bridge with the highest pier height in Taiwan.


Due to the regrettable incident of a passer-by committing suicide and falling into the bridge in 2022, the Office specially invited local units and representatives of public opinion to provide valuable opinions on site surveys, and finally reached a consensus to optimize the guardrail of the Wutai Guchuan Bridge by adding a protective net to the original bridge. The height of the railing is 1.2 meters, and a protective net of 2.9 meters is installed to increase the safety protection function. During the design and construction process, special consideration was given to the aesthetics of the overall transparent landscape of the bridge. After the guardrail is completed, it is like the Youlongyi Bridge flying over the Ailiao Beixi River, perfectly presenting the visual effect of the fusion of bridge architecture and nature.


After the completion of the fence protection net of the Wutai Guchuan Bridge, our office and the Wutai Township Office will jointly hold a blessing event on March 28, 2023. In the way of tribal blessings, we hope to bring stability and happiness to the local residents.
