The Daman section of the Beiheng Highway will adjust controls starting from November 9. It will be open for three periods of 30 minutes each day.

The 49.8-kilometer Daman section of Provincial Highway 7 (Beiheng Highway) suffered a large-scale collapse on September 7 this year. Considering that the flood season has passed, the Northern District Maintenance Engineering Branch of the Highway Bureau stated today (4) that the control measures for this section will be adjusted starting from November 9, and will be opened to traffic in three periods every day, each period is 30 minutes.

The Fuxing Public Works Section of the North District Maintenance Engineering Branch stated that since the overall slope repair of the site has not been completed, under safety considerations, the site will still be operated in a monitored two-way controlled one-way open manner. The controlled access hours will be adjusted. From the 9th, the opening hours will be 8:00 to 8:30 am, 12:00 noon to 12:30 noon and 5:30 to 6:00 pm.

The Fuxing Public Works Section pointed out that the traffic control hours are not divided into holidays. If there is rain or unstable slope during the opening period, emergency closure will be carried out and large vehicles will not be allowed to pass. For those who need to travel to and from Taoyuan and Yilan areas, it is recommended to take National Highway 5 or Provincial Highway 9 to avoid delays. When traveling on controlled roads, you should follow the instructions of on-site personnel and do not forcefully pass or stay.

The Highway Bureau reminds that mountainous slopes are prone to loose soil and rocks and rockfalls in the near future. For safety reasons, there may be irregular traffic control operations.
