[Reporter Cai Shuyuan/Taichung Report] The road development project connecting Changping East 8th Road, Beitun District, Taichung City to Xing'an Road to Songzhu North Road, opened up a length of about 8 meters and a width of about 78 meters, filling up abandoned river courses and setting up signs, street lights, The side ditches and sidewalks and other facilities were completed on the 25th of last month after a construction period of half a year. Mayor Lu Xiuyan presided over the completion ceremony today and pointed out that after the road is opened, the 14th rezoning area will be sewn together with Xing'an Road and Songzhu North Road, making traffic more convenient.

Chen Datian, director of the Construction Bureau, said that during the development of the 14th phase of the rezoning area, the drainage road was diverted to the rezoning area, forming an abandoned river course, which caused the roads in the rezoning area to fail to connect with the roads outside the area, affecting the development of the regional seam. In June 2020, the urban planning change will be completed, and the original "drainage channel" land will be changed to "garden road" and "road" land, and road opening and widening projects will be planned.
