6. LongTeng Broken Bridge (Sanyi Township, Miaoli County)
龍騰斷橋 (苗栗縣 , 三義鄉)
This breaking red brick arch bridge was built by the Japanese in 1905.
這座斷裂的紅磚拱橋是日本人於1905年左右所建。
It known as "The railway art of Taiwan", the LongTeng Broken Bridge was built in
more than a hundred years ago, across the deep valley of Dragon River.
Unfortunately, it was seriously damaged beyond repair in the earthquake on April
21, 1935.
被譽為「台灣鐵路藝術極品」的龍騰斷橋建於一百多年前,橫跨在龍騰溪谷
上。可惜在1935年四月二十一日的大地震中嚴重損毀無法修復。
Today, we can see the six northern end and four southern end bridge piers
remains. Again subjected to 921 earthquake in Sept 21, 1992, the fifth pie of
northern end was secondary breaking.
現今,我們還可看到北端的六個及南端的四個橋墩遺蹟。民國八十八年九月
廿一日再度遭受九二一大地震,由北端算起第五橋墩二次被震斷。
