[Reporter Hong Ruiqin/Report from Tainan] Kaixuan Road next to Houjia National Middle School in Nanshi City has narrowed the bottleneck and is currently undergoing road widening projects. Currently, due to the coordination of pipeline units to cooperate with entering the site to bury pipelines, the main road widening project cannot continue until the completion of the pipelines, causing People nearby pay attention.

The Municipal Public Works Bureau stated today (17) that it has actively coordinated with the pipeline units to deal with the configuration and burial as soon as possible, and will complete the construction and open to traffic by the end of August and before the end of the summer vacation to maintain the convenience and safety of students commuting.

Zhonghua East Road in the East District is developing rapidly. Driven by the large department stores in Tainan Shopping Center, a business district has been formed with frequent traffic. Kaixuan Road on the north side has also become an important road leading to Linsen Road.

However, at the end of Kaixuan Road, the campus of Houjia Junior High School partially overlaps with the urban planning road land, resulting in a constricted rear section of the road, which can only be used by motorbikes and bicycles, causing long-term traffic bottlenecks.

Nanshi Public Works Bureau budgeted about 56 million yuan for the road widening project of Kaixuan Road Extension, which will be about 205 meters in length and 15 meters in width. After the widening is completed and opened to traffic in the future, it will be able to smoothly connect Section 1 of East Zhonghua Road to Section 2 of Linsen Road , to provide another main road for the east-west direction of the Eastern District, and at the same time relieve the long-term traffic congestion on major roads such as Dongning Road and Xiaodong Road.

In addition, the convenience of Nanfang Shopping Center and the traffic benefits of development areas such as Pingshiying District provide a convenient and unimpeded road to study in the Cultural and Educational Special Zone of Chengda University and the campus of Houjia Junior High School.

The Public Works Bureau stated that the road widening project of Kaixuan Road Extension started in July last year, and most of the new side ditches have been completed, but the project requires the cooperation of the pipeline unit to enter the site to bury the people's livelihood pipeline distribution, and the current Taipower project involves the use of schools and nearby park tennis courts. The electrical problem is more complicated, resulting in a longer construction period than originally scheduled. It has been actively coordinated and dealt with, and is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of August.
