The Gaogong Office stated that an accident occurred at approximately 13.8K on the 18th at approximately 4pm on the 18th, causing a traffic jam of 4.5 kilometers. Subsequently, the public reported that there was a suspected swelling in the section of the road; This was received by the relevant personnel. After notification, the camera saw that there was cement grout on the road, so the construction team was invited to the site to take care of it. After the grout was cleaned, we saw that there was a hole in the floor and it was discovered that the New Taipei City Government was grouting the grout. However, careless construction caused holes in the surface of the national highway and the cement grout was sprayed on the surface of the national highway. This hastily requested the entire New Taipei city government to stop works immediately and review subsequent construction methods.

From 4 p.m. yesterday until 10 p.m., the road was in a purple burst with a speed of less than 20 kilometers per hour. There were even times when the speed was less than 10 kilometers per hour, causing the top of the embankment to drop to level. Vehicles also blocked the top of the embankment. Lin Bingsong, deputy director of the North District Maintenance Engineering Sub-Directorate of the Gaogong Office, said the manufacturer had rushed to the site around 10 p.m., but due to the traffic jam, the manufacturer was still stuck in the road, and the machinery and materials behind it, were also on their way to the site. Once the manufacturer arrives at the site and confirms the thickness of the damage and the road conditions, the night maintenance will start. During the maintenance period, the road section will be closed to 2 lanes.

This morning, the Gaogong Bureau issued a message that due to the road damage incident caused by the New Taipei city government crossing highway management project, the incident was ruled out at 4:35. on the 19th. The emergency response was lifted. Use pedestrians to drive safely. Telephone of the Northern District Traffic Control Center (02) 2909-6141 ext. 3333.
