Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct


Changhua-Kaohsiung Viaduct is the world's second longest bridge. The bridge acts as a viaduct for part of the railway line of the Taiwan High Speed Rail network. Over 200 million passengers had been carried over it by December 2012.

The bridge goes from Baguashan (八卦山) in Changhua County to Zuoying in Kaohsiung.

The bridge is 157,317m (516,132 ft) or 97.8 miles in length. It was completed in 2007. The railway is built across a vast series of viaducts, as they were designed to be earthquake resistant to allow for trains to stop safely during a seismic event and for repairable damage following a maximum design earthquake. Bridges built over known fault lines were designed to survive fault movements without catastrophic damage.
