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).
