Kaohsiung Expands Transfer Routes at Science and Technology Museum Station with New Sidewalk on Xianzheng Road
To enhance pedestrian safety and transfer convenience for commuters and visitors around the National Science and Technology Museum in Kaohsiung, the city's Public Works Bureau has initiated a project to add a new sidewalk on Xianzheng Road, Lingya District. Funded by a central government subsidy with a total budget of approximately NT$25.31 million, the project will construct a 350-meter physical sidewalk. Construction has already begun and is expected to be completed before the Lunar New Year next year, aiming to resolve safety concerns from the previous lack of a sidewalk.

(Central News Agency, Kaohsiung, 21st, reporter Tsai Meng-yu) To improve pedestrian convenience for school commutes, hospital visits, and transfers around the National Science and Technology Museum, the Kaohsiung City Government's Public Works Bureau has received a central government subsidy to build a 350-meter-long physical sidewalk on Xianzheng Road in Lingya District. Construction has already begun and is expected to be completed before the Lunar New Year next year.
Xianzheng Road is one of the community access roads in the Science and Technology Museum's living area. The area is primarily residential and is close to the Kaohsiung Special School, Kaixuan Elementary School, Daoming High School, and Sheng-Kung Hospital. It also connects to the Light Rail, the TRA Science and Technology Museum Station, and the Railway Green Corridor. The road has high traffic flow and transfer demand, but the lack of existing sidewalks poses a safety risk.
In a press release today, the Kaohsiung Public Works Bureau stated that its Maintenance Engineering Office, which has previously renovated sidewalks on Jiuru 1st Road, Dashun Road, Leren Road, and Jianguo 1st Road, has again received a central subsidy to add a 350-meter-long physical sidewalk on Xianzheng Road (from Dashun 3rd Road to Lane 138, Xianzheng Road) in Lingya District.
The Maintenance Engineering Office explained that the project will involve creating new pedestrian spaces on both sides with concrete, installing accessible ramps and setback crosswalks in line with pedestrian flow. Existing facilities such as streetlights, traffic signal poles, and electrical boxes will be moved outward and integrated, and parking bays will also be established. The total project cost is approximately NT$25.31 million. Construction has recently started and will be completed before the Lunar New Year next year.
Furthermore, to minimize the impact on the surrounding area, the construction will proceed in stages by street block. The public is reminded to pay attention to relevant warning signs and traffic guidance and to slow down when passing through the construction zone.
The Maintenance Engineering Office noted that sidewalk improvement projects are also planned for nearby areas, including Jiuru 1st Road (from Zhongshan Freeway to Pingdeng Road) in Sanmin District and Wumiao Road (from Fude 2nd Road to Dashun 3rd Road) in Lingya District, which will be carried out successively.

FAQ
這次人行道新建工程的地點在哪裡？
在高雄市苓雅區憲政路，範圍從大順三路至憲政路138巷，長度約350公尺。
為什麼要在憲政路增設人行道？
因為該路段鄰近科工館、多所學校及醫院，交通流量大且轉乘需求高，但缺乏人行道，有安全隱憂。此工程旨在提升步行轉乘的便利性與安全性。
這項工程的經費與預計完工時間？
總經費約新台幣2531萬元，由中央補助。工程已進場施工，預計於明年農曆年前完工。
工程內容除了人行道還包含什麼？
工程將以混凝土新設人行空間，並設置無障礙斜坡道、退縮行穿線、停車彎，同時會將路燈、號誌桿、電箱等設施外推整合。
除了憲政路，高雄市還有其他類似的人行環境改善工程嗎？
有的，報導中提到目前周邊尚有三民區九如一路及苓雅區武廟路的人行環境改善工程，將陸續辦理。
