Landslide at 22-23K on Line 60 in Jiandianthu disrupted traffic

On the Zhu 60 Route, the main road from Jianshi Township in Hsinchu County leading to Xibao, Simacus and other tribes in Houshan Town, a large amount of landslides occurred tonight (24th) at 22-23 kilometers, occupying both lanes, and traffic was interrupted. The scene has been cordoned off, and the township office will rush to clear it as soon as possible. The county government reminds the public to pay attention.

The Hsinchu County Government said that the Central Meteorological Administration pointed out that the moderate typhoon Qiangpi continued to weaken, and the rain gradually weakened in the afternoon, and the rainfall scope further narrowed in the evening, but the Shuangbei and Taozhu Miao mountainous areas still need to pay attention to local heavy rain. Earlier today, landslides occurred at 38k and 37.5k of County Road 122 in Daai Village, Wufeng Township, at the Egongji Road intersection of Ailan Road and Zhu 67, as well as at 29k and 39k of County Road 120 in Jianshi Township, and have all been cleared.

However, as of 7 o'clock tonight, 22-23k of the Zhu 60 Route in Jianshi Township, which connects County Road 120, has suffered landslides. Both lines are currently impassable and a blockade has been put in place. The Zhu 60 Route is an important road leading to Xinguang, Tianpu, Taigang, Zhenxibao, Simacus and other tribes in Jianshi Back Mountain Xiuluan Village, as well as Yufeng Village. The Jianshi Township Office will send personnel to clear it as soon as possible.
