(Central News Agency reporter Tsai Meng-yu, Kaohsiung, 13th) To improve driving safety on the well-known sharp curve section of Highway 136 in Neimen District, Kaohsiung City, the Public Works Bureau's New Construction Engineering Office announced today that the improvement project has commenced recently. Through road widening and alignment adjustment, driving safety and sight distance conditions will be effectively enhanced.
The Kaohsiung City Public Works Bureau's New Construction Engineering Office issued a press release today stating that the sharp curve section located at the junction of Neidong Village and Zhongpu Village in Neimen District, due to past alignment limitations, still had room for optimization in terms of passing space and driving visibility.
The New Construction Engineering Office stated that considering the overall traffic system development, public interest, and the actual needs of local residents, the city government decided to carry out a curve straightening and road widening project to improve driving safety and road service quality. The improvement project has completed the bidding process and officially commenced recently.
This improvement project is expected to widen the road to 11 meters, with an overall improvement length of approximately 60 meters. The total project cost is approximately NT$4.87 million. It has now entered the construction phase. During the construction period, depending on the on-site situation, 'half-width construction' or temporary road closures will be implemented, and clear detour signs and traffic maintenance measures will be simultaneously set up to minimize the impact of construction on road users.
The New Construction Engineering Office urges road users to take alternative routes, slow down, and cooperate with on-site traffic control signs and volunteer traffic personnel when passing through the construction section to collectively ensure driving safety. (Editor: Wu Su-jou) 1150413
