AI-generated summary
The Rapid Transit Engineering Bureau of the New Taipei City Government and the China Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Society jointly organized a seminar aimed at deepening professional exchanges in rapid transit engineering and inheriting practical experience in major public construction. After the opening of the Sanying Line, the MRT network in New Taipei City has reached 108 kilometers and 90 stations, ranking first in the country. Currently, we are fully promoting the "four rings and eight lines". Looking forward to 2035, the New Taipei MRT network will expand to 189 kilometers and 182 stations.

In order to deepen professional exchanges in MRT engineering and inherit practical experience in major public construction, the MRT Engineering Bureau of the New Taipei City Government cooperated with the China Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Society to hold a seminar on "New Taipei MRT Sanying Line Construction Experience and Inheritance" today (9) and tomorrow (10). Experts from industry, government, academia and engineering teams were invited to participate to analyze the Sanying Line's practical experience from planning, design, construction, supervision, system integration to station development, hoping to create a rich "MRT knowledge base".
New Taipei City Deputy Secretary-General Zhu Tizhi said that after the opening of the Sanying Line, New Taipei City's MRT network has reached 108 kilometers and 90 stations, ranking first in the country. It is currently fully promoting the "Four Rings and Eight Lines" and looking forward to 203 In 5 years, the New Taipei MRT network will be expanded to 189 kilometers and 182 stations, realizing the vision of "connecting Keelung to the north, Taipei to the middle, and Taoyuan to the south", with New Taipei City as the core, connecting the North and North Taoyuan MRT living circles.
Zhu Tizhi pointed out that MRT construction is a highly complex system project that focuses on integration, involving interface coordination and cross-disciplinary expertise, and must rely on close cooperation between teams in various fields. Therefore, the New Taipei Rapid Transit Bureau and the China Civil and Hydraulic Engineering Society jointly held the "Sanying Line Construction Experience and Inheritance" seminar for two consecutive days with the Sanying Line as the core case. The topics covered engineering challenges, detailed design, civil engineering and mechanical and electrical turnkey project management, bridge foundation integration, station construction and urban development. and the application of Building Information Modeling (BIM). The comprehensive discussion session will be co-hosted by Gao Zongzheng, executive supervisor of the Land and Water Society, and Li Zheng'an, director of the New Taipei City MRT. They will have an in-depth discussion on the history and future of the Sanying Line, hoping to stimulate more innovative thinking and inject professional energy into Taiwan's MRT construction.
Li Zheng'an explained that the engineering team intelligently and systematically organized the key experience accumulated on the front line and the practice of solving problems, which not only serves as a reference template for subsequent MRT construction, but also accelerates the accumulation of professional knowledge and the inheritance of technology from generation to generation, cultivating more top professionals for future MRT construction.

The Xiamen section of the Xiamen-Jinjiang Bridge was closed in the early morning of November 10, and the construction of the main structure was completed. The last steel box girder weighing 3,318 tons has been hoisted in place. The main sea bridge with a total length of about 14.2 kilometers is composed of 12 bridge sections. It is expected to be completed and opened to traffic by the end of this year. It will shorten the travel time from Xiamen Island to Dadeng Island and improve the traffic efficiency from the main island to Xiang'an International Airport.

Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai, Minister of the Interior Liu Shifang and others inspected the new Taiwan-17 Coastal Link Road project. The overall progress reached 75%, and some sections of the road have been opened to traffic in sections. Since the Naval Atmospheric and Oceanographic Bureau and Hansheng Radio Station have not yet been demolished, a U-shaped replacement road is needed to the south of Weiliu Road. It is expected that the entire line will be opened to traffic in a straight line in two years.

Lawmakers and engineers have criticised 'unimaginable' defects in 30 columns at the under-construction Tung Chung West MTR station, where concrete failed to cover steel bars. Repairs are expected to be straightforward without delaying the project.

The last 4.28 kilometers of the west extension section of the Provincial Highway 76 in Changhua County will be opened to traffic at noon on the 8th, marking the completion of the 42.25-kilometer long Provincial Highway 76. This project, which lasted for 8 years, will significantly shorten the driving distance from Nantou to Fangyuan and improve transportation in southwest Changhua.

The 20.8-kilometer west extension of Provincial Highway 76 (Caotun-Fangyuan) was completed and opened to traffic at 12 noon on the 8th. It starts from the Fangyuan Interchange of Provincial Highway 61 in the west, connects Erlin and Puyan in the east, and connects to the existing Provincial Highway 76, connecting Provincial Highway 61, National Highway 1 and National Highway 3. The journey from Caotun to Fong Yuan is shortened from about 55 minutes to 35 minutes, saving about 20 minutes. Chief Executive Officer Zhuo Rongtai pointed out that this section directly connects Fangyuan Industrial Zone, Erlin Zhongke Base and Precision Park, improving the core capacity of the central precision smart park, and has disaster relief and medical referral functions. The project adopts a sponge road design, which combines flood detention and landscape green corridors, and integrates human-oriented environment and bicycle paths. The planning of this road section can be traced back to the "National Six-Year Economic Construction Plan" in 1991. In 2018, the extension project was approved by then Executive President Lai Ching-te and took about 20 years to complete.
The Meijiang Super Bridge of Ruimei Railway was successfully closed on November 5. The bridge is a third-line bridge jointly built by Ruimei Railway and Longlong Railway, with a total length of 929.826 meters. This time, Helong has opened up the entire girder channel, clearing key obstacles for subsequent construction, which is of great significance to improving traffic quality and industrial revitalization in the old area.
