Baling Bridge

The predecessor of the Northern Cross-island Highway was Jiaobanshan Sanxing Guard Road during the Japanese colonial period. In October of the third year of Taisho (1914), the Japanese built the Balong Suspension Bridge at 47 kilometers away from today's Northern Cross-island Highway. Fuba Cross-ridge Historic Trail connects with Jiaobanshan Sanxing Road here. During the construction of the Northern Cross-island Highway in the 1960s, the Balong Bridge was demolished and rebuilt as "Baling Bridge".
