Taiwan ROC - Purdue Bridge 普渡橋

 

Stamp Issue : 1980-03-01 

Purdue Bridge is the only suspension bridge for pedestrian that runs from Central Cross-Island Highway leading to Cheung Tak Temple. Crossing the Liwu River, the bridge was completed in August 1960. As the bridge has gone beyond its life span and the area is geologically unstable, in consideration of safety, the bridge was rebuilt with cement in March 1998.

普渡橋是從中橫公路通往祥德寺的唯一步行吊橋，竣工於1960年8月，橫跨立霧溪，後因地質不穩影響吊橋安全性，加上橋梁超過使用年限，1998年3月已重建為水泥橋。
