The 40-meter wide Dehe Road in Bade will be fully opened to traffic by the end of the month and a YouBike station will be added.

The Taoyuan City Government has used the space under the MRT Green Line viaduct to build Jian Dehe Road, which is about 1.7 kilometers long and 40 meters wide. The last section of Jianguo Road to Jieshou Road, which is about 900 meters, is in the final stage. Deputy Mayor Su Junbin inspected it today and is striving to open it to traffic early by the end of November. A 25-post YouBike station will be added at the intersection of Dehe Road and Jieshou Road to give residents more options to drive, bike or take public transportation.

MRT Engineering Director Liu Qingfeng said that Dehe Road is part of the road network of the Bade No. 6 living circle. In conjunction with the co-linear design of the viaduct bridges at the G02 and G03 stations of the MRT Green Line, the space under the MRT bridge is used to build roads, so that MRT construction and local transportation improvements can be carried out simultaneously. In the future, it is also planned to extend from Jieshou Road eastward to Heping Road, gradually improving the traffic network around Bade and Daman.

He said that Dehe Road has three lanes in each direction, with a dedicated left-turn lane at the intersection. The sidewalks on both sides are more than 2.5 meters wide, taking into account vehicle traffic and pedestrian safety. The first phase, which is about 800 meters from Jiande Road to Jianguo Road, was completed on April 3 last year. The second phase is about 900 meters from Jianguo Road to Jieshou Road. Due to the complex construction of the underground to elevated section of the MRT, it was originally scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. At present, the street lights and drainage side ditches have been tested, and we are striving to open one month ahead of schedule.

Su Junbin said that in recent years, new residential buildings in the Bade expanded and rezoned area have been completed one after another, and the immigrant population has continued to increase. However, external transportation has long relied on existing roads such as Xingfeng Road and Jianguo Road. Especially during peak hours of commuting to and from work and school, a large number of vehicles flock to Jieshou Road, forming a traffic bottleneck. After Dehe Road is fully opened, vehicles can go directly from Jiande Road to Jieshou Road via Jianguo Road, adding an important east-west channel, reducing detours for residents, and helping to disperse traffic flow on surrounding major roads.
