After two presidents and three mayors, the new Taiwan Line 17 has finally been partially opened to traffic and is expected to be fully opened to traffic in 2028! Li Boyi, who fought for this road from city councilor to legislator, described it as the central and local governments joining hands to make the impossible possible.
Li Boyi recently led a team to inspect the entire New Taiwan Line 17 project, and invited Minister of the Interior Liu Shifang, Director of the Ministry of the Interior Land Management Cai Changzhan, officials from the Ministry of National Defense and Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chimai, and relevant city government bureaus to learn about the road's preparations for opening to traffic, the replacement road at the naval base section, and the progress of subsequent projects.
Li Boyi said that he fought for this road from city councilor to legislator, and continued to fight for this transportation artery that the folks of Zuonan had been waiting for for a long time. Mayor Chen Qimai also thanked Liu Shifang for joining hands with the central government, "making a task that was originally considered impossible finally become possible!"
He mentioned that for the new Taiwan 17th Line, the military needed to move two outposts and rebuild a combat readiness runway. It was almost an impossible task in the early stages of planning. It took the efforts of former President Tsai Ing-wen, President Lai Ching-te, former Mayor Chen Ju, Mayor Chen Qimai and others to make the impossible possible.
Now that it has been partially opened to traffic, people in China Aid Hong Kong, Kaohsiung University and Youchang area feel that it has saved a lot of time and are very satisfied. He believes that a road has been running for 20 years, relying on one stick after another. From Mayor Chen Ju starting the construction, Commissioner Liu Shifang coordinated the central government, to Mayor Chen Qimai leading the construction of the city government, he has never given up from the city council to the Legislative Yuan.
He emphasized that he will continue to urge the completion of the naval base section in the future. The section from Zhonghai Road to Military Academy Road is expected to be opened to traffic by the end of next year, and the entire New Taiwan Line 17 will be opened to traffic by the end of 2028.
