舊港過往聯外的交通方式為渡船和臨時搭建的木橋，由於木橋時常因風災毀損的緣故，只能仰賴渡船通行，1960年渡船翻覆事件後才興建第一代舊港大橋，隔年完工，1963年因葛羅里颱風毀損，1977年興建第二代舊港大橋後將其拆除，2007年興建第三代舊港大橋，2009年完工通車，亦即今日的百年防洪斜張大橋。
In the past, the only means of transportation connecting the Jiu-Gang to the outside world were ferries and temporary wooden bridges. Because the wooden bridges were often damaged by typhoons, people could only rely on ferries for passage. After a ferry capsized in 1960, the first generation of the Jiu-Gang Bridge was built and completed the following year. It was damaged by Typhoon Grori in 1963. The second generation of the Jiu-Gang Bridge was built in 1977 and then demolished. The third generation of the Jiu-Gang Bridge was built in 2007 and completed and opened to traffic in 2009. This is the century-old flood control cable-stayed bridge we see today.
