Taiwan - Penghu

Coat of arms of Penghu Islands
The Penghu or Pescadores Islands are an archipelago of 90 islands and islets in the Taiwan Strait. The largest city is Magong, located on the largest island, which is also named Penghu. Covering an area of 141 square kilometers (54 sq mi), the archipelago collectively forms Penghu County of the Republic of China (Taiwan), and is the second smallest county, after Lienchiang.
The Penghu Great Bridge or Penghu Trans-Oceanic Bridge is a bridge in Penghu CountyTaiwan. It connects Siyu Island and Baisha Main Island.
The idea of the bridge construction came after knowing the sea current between Siyu Island and Baisha Main Island was too harsh to sail. The construction of the bridge began in 1965 and was completed in 1970. The bridge was expanded in 1984 due to its erosion and collapse because of the sea wind. On 1 January 1996, it was re-inaugurated as two-lane road bridge
The bridge was initially 2,478 meter long and 5.1 meters wide. But after renovation and expansion, it becomes 2,494 meters long and 13 meters wide. It has 7 emergency space along the path.
