The bridge was designed by architect [Dame Zaha Hadid](/source/Dame_Zaha_Hadid). It is a single-tower asymmetric [cable-stayed bridge](/source/cable-stayed_bridge) with a {{convert|920|m}} long road, rail and pedestrian deck supported by a single {{cvt|200|m}}-tall pylon.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://udn.com/news/story/7323/8932032|title=新北淡水淡江大橋主橋塔高2百米完工 進度達85%|language=zh-tw|publisher=[United Daily News](/source/United_Daily_News)|author=許端驛|date=2025-08-11}}</ref>

==History==
The bridge was commissioned by the [Highway Bureau](/source/Highway_Bureau), and was designed to provide connection to the national highway system and to ease congestion on the [Guandu Bridge](/source/Guandu_Bridge) that is situated further upstream. The construction of the bridge will also facilitate the expansion of the [Danhai Light Rail](/source/Danhai_light_rail), part of the city's light rail public transport system. In 2015, [Zaha Hadid Architects](/source/Zaha_Hadid_Architects), in collaboration with Leonhardt, Andrä & Partner and Sinotech Engineering Consultants, won the international competition to design the Danjiang Bridge.<ref>{{cite web |url =http://architectureau.com/articles/zaha-hadid-world-first-bridge-design-wins-competition/?mc_cid=5900ec4259&mc_eid=8c11c6ad66|title =Zaha Hadid's world first bridge design wins competition|last =Sian Johnson|date =18 Aug 2015|publisher =Architecture Media Pty Ltd|accessdate =19 August 2015}}</ref>
