Stages of the (above ground visible) Kaohsiung Station 高雄車站 construction works are presented in several episodes.

Episode 09
Status as per 2021, early April.
Floor slabs of the first tall building have been concreted. Steel frame of second tall building is under construction now. Roof structure assembly is complete (south-west). Preparations for shifting the old station building to the final location can be seen. The old building has been jacked up by 394 cm in two lifting phases in the recent months (having reached this elevation on May 22). The 2500 t building will then be moved by 4.5 m horizontally northward and 57.9 m westward to its final position in the center axis of the new station. Braced excavations of construction pits are proceeding. The green corridor to the east and west of the station looks finally green after the recent rainfall.

Episode 07
Status as per 2021, early March.
Key event is the begin of dismantling Zhongbo Bridge 中博高架橋. The steel-concrete composite road bridge connected Jhongshan 1st Road in the south and Boai 1st Road in the north of the station's track and platform area. The temporary bridge went into operation in May 2003 and was closed for traffic at 00:00 o'clock of 27 February 2021. The bridge once had taken the vehicular traffic from a tunnel under the railway tracks, which was permanently closed in connection with the MRT station construction works. 06:00 o'clock on 2021-03-08 newly built Jhansi Road 站西路 was opened for traffic (west side of the new station building). The works for rerouting the traffic from the bridge to the street have been carried out within a tight schedule of about nine days. This became possible due to good planning of the activities and mobilization of plenty of construction equipment (including mobile cranes, excavators, asphalt milling machines, rollers, pavers, and rollers).
