An elevated pedestrian walkway connected to Minquan Bridge in Taipei opened yesterday. Mayor Chiang Wan-an described it as an ideal spot for watching aircraft take off and land at nearby Songshan airport.
Speaking at a ceremony to open the walkway, Chiang said it was part of a broader renovation project designed to bolster the bridge’s resistance to earthquakes and floods while improving the area’s recreational opportunities and forging a more pedestrian-friendly urban environment.
A major benefit of the walkway, Chiang said, was that it would provide easier access between riverside parks in Songshan and Neihu districts.
The walkway’s design resembles a ribbon winding along the Keelung River, while its circular viewing platforms offer panoramic views of the river and Songshan Airport to the west, he said.
Chiang highlighted the Minsheng water resources center, which is under construction, saying it would eventually connect with the Minquan Bridge and provide a new route for cycling and walking.
According to the Taipei Public Works Department’s construction office, construction of the walkway began in August last year and was completed on May 28.
The office said the walkway features a lightweight steel structure and circular viewing platforms overlooking the Keelung River. It incorporates nighttime lighting designed to complement the illumination along both sides of the river.
