In conjunction with the addition of a bridge construction interchange on National Highway 1, the Miaoli County Government has implemented the widening of Miao 14 Line, including the demolition and reconstruction of Jincheng Bridge. The project was originally scheduled to be closed until the end of September this year, but due to weather and other factors, the closure was extended until June 30 next year. Since Jincheng Bridge is a transportation hub connecting the settlements on both sides of National Highway 1 in the township, the township government has also cooperated with the announcement, asking passers-by to change routes in advance to avoid delaying their journeys.

The township office stated that the county's Transportation and Public Works Department is handling the demolition and reconstruction project of Jincheng Bridge, which was originally scheduled to be closed from March 1 to September 30 this year. Due to weather factors during the construction period, and in line with engineering design adjustments and related engineering interface construction needs, the closure period of Jincheng Bridge has been extended to 5 p.m. on June 30 next year.

The construction of an additional bridge-building interchange on National Highway 1 was started by the Highway Bureau of the Ministry of Transport on August 18 last year, with south exit and north entry ramps set up. It is expected to be completed by the end of 2029; Miao Line 14 is a crucial interchange connection road and will be widened by the Miao County Government and is expected to be completed by the end of next year.

The Traffic and Public Works Department stated that the Miao 14 Line will be widened from Pingren Road to Lilan Road, with a total length of 1,305 meters, and the width will be widened from the existing 9 to 11 meters to 16.7 to 24.3 meters, becoming two lanes in each direction. The total cost of the project is approximately 335.52 million yuan, of which 263.52 million yuan is engineering cost. The local government is exempt from co-funding; however, approximately 72 million yuan of project costs such as land acquisition and bridge reconstruction must be raised by oneself. Among them, the Jincheng Bridge on Miao 14 Line, which currently has only one lane in both directions, will also be demolished and rebuilt.

The county government announced that the demolition and reconstruction project of Jincheng Bridge will be extended until June 30 next year. (Provided by the township office)
