    Navy gate moves to make way for new coastal road

    Known as the Zhongzheng Gate (中正哨), the old entrance stands near the intersection of Zhongzheng Road (中正路) and Jieshou Road (介壽路). It dates to around 1950, shortly after the naval command moved to Zuoying. Once the navy has transferred operations to the new gate, the city plans to incorporate the old site into the road project. The new section of Highway 17 is scheduled to open in late October, according to the report.
