Kinmen Bridge
Kinmen,
Taiwan
The Kinmen Bridge is a sea-crossing bridge connecting Kinmen Island and Lieyu Township. It is the first large-scale cross-sea infrastructure project designed and built in Taiwan.
The total length is approximately 5.4 km, including a 4.7 km bridge section, with a standard deck width of 15 m and 4 lanes. The main bridge is a five-tower six-span cambering structure, with a main span of 200m and a total length of 1050m. The cross-section of the tower is in the shape of sorghum.
PERI supplied the VARIO GT 24 wall formwork, the CB system and the PERI UP for the sorghum-shaped pylons for the main bridge, which was also the most difficult part of the project.
