The Taichung City Construction Bureau has promoted the Mayuantou Creek waterfront corridor project, investing approximately NT$58 million to improve the pedestrian space in the Beitun and West sections in stages, connecting the existing sidewalks, and the total length will reach approximately 4.7 kilometers, of which Beitun The section was completed in August this year. The western section is expected to be flattened from 8:00 pm on October 23 to 8:00 am the next day at the intersection of Shangshan Road, Zhongming South Road, Gongyi Road and surrounding sections. Night construction will be carried out to reduce traffic impact.

Construction Director Chen Datian pointed out that this project will improve about 1,750 meters of pedestrian space along the line and gradually form a continuous and safe waterfront walking route through the connection of existing sidewalks. In addition to improving sidewalk paving and traffic space, the project will also simultaneously optimize road corners and markings, update railings and lighting facilities, improve the barrier-free environment at intersections, and enhance the overall landscape of the waterfront, making it safer and more comfortable for citizens to walk along the river, while also taking into account the quality of surrounding roads.

The Construction Bureau pointed out that the road planing and paving operation in the western section will be carried out in sections according to on-site conditions. During the construction period, traffic control will be implemented in sections, and the control scope will be adjusted flexibly according to the actual traffic conditions. Traffic maintenance personnel will also be arranged to assist in diversion. Lane reductions or partial closures may occur on surrounding roads. Passers-by are reminded to plan routes in advance and try to avoid construction periods and road sections. If any traffic inconvenience is caused during construction, the public is asked for their understanding and cooperation.
