National freeway No. 1 widening project from Wugu to Yangmei section

An overpass to be added to National Highway Number 1 to connect Wugu and Yangmei will use pre-cast concrete segments placed by cranes as a balanced cantilever. The method is considered uncommon and the price for this overpass will be about NT$88.2 billion. The section of freeway will be part of National Highway Number 1. Construction is expected to be completed at the end of 2012.

The overpass will be broadened between Jhongli and Taishan to provide an auxiliary lane for high-occupancy vehicles. The National Expressway Engineering Bureau expects work on the overpass to be completed by 2012. The bureau says the overpass will cut the travel time between Wugu and Yangmei by 30 minutes and reduce traffic by 35 percent.
