Construction of Gangshan’s planned second National Freeway 1 interchange could begin in September, with the NT$4.38 billion project intended to relieve traffic serving northern Kaohsiung’s industrial areas.

Heavy rain flooded roads across Kaohsiung on Saturday, with several districts recording more than 200 mm within 24 hours. Flooding disrupted traffic in Niaosong, Daliao and other parts of the city.

Taiwan High Speed Rail Corp. says station-area growth is shifting from commuting to full-time living ahead of the line’s January 2027 anniversary, with Taoyuan and Hsinchu posting the youngest populations of the network’s 12 stops.

Drivers on a stretch of Jiangong Road (建工路) in Sanmin District (三民區) are now subject to a reduced speed limit of 30 kph as construction continues on Yellow Line (黃線) Station Y8, part of the city’s second MRT line.

Taiwan’s first N700ST high-speed train has arrived through the Port of Kaohsiung, beginning a major expansion that will eventually increase the railway’s peak-hour capacity by about 25%.

Kaohsiung has introduced scooter parking areas without individual spaces, saying the design can accommodate different vehicle sizes. Some riders fear the result will be scooters packed too tightly to remove safely.

A new lakeside sidewalk on Wenqian Road (文前路) in Niaosong District (鳥松) has opened, adding another piece to Kaohsiung’s walking network around Chengcing Lake (澄清湖). The Kaohsiung Public Works Bureau said the new section gives pedestrians a safer route along the lake, where residents previously had to walk beside traffic.

Kaohsiung traffic police say deaths of older adults at intersections fell about 40% from January to May after officers began assisting seniors at risky crossings.

Lai Media reported that at least two cars and two scooters had been left in marked parking spaces that were later canceled as part of traffic preparations for the opening. After the spaces were repainted as red lines, the vehicles were classified as illegally parked and towed.
