History
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.[3]
Architecture
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.[4]
