KAOHSIUNG MOUNTAIN DISTRICTS CUT OFF AFTER RAIN|高雄桃源區新橋梁錯位 復通遙遙無期

Kaohsiung mountain regions racked up the largest volume of rain during the recent heavy rainfall. Taoyuan, Namaxia and other areas were cut off . Taoyuan district's Mingbakelu Bridge which had only been completed and opened to traffic in April was found to have damaged pillars. [J] Meanwhile, the foundations for the southern cross island highway also slipped along some stretches. There is no timetable for their repair. Also, Six sections of Provincial Highway 29 at Namaxia have been washed away and it will take until at least June 16 before the highway can be reopened. Workmen look carefully at the bridge pillars. Kaohiung's Mingbakelu Bridge in Taoyuan district had just been opened to traffic in April and residents were happy that they no longer had to walk along the river. However, the recent torrential rain damaged the 695 meter bridge, causing the pillars to shift. The P7 pillar is particularly badly affected with a five to 10 meter shift. ==ONLOOKER(106.06.05.)== The water was all the way up to the road from the Mingbakelu Bridge middle section to Fuxing, for about 200 meters. Residents were unhappy that the new bridge was broken after the first heavy rain and worry about the safety of vehicles crossing it. The bridge maintenance team said that by raising the bridge it could be restored. ==WANG CHING-HUNG 3rd regional maintenance team DGH == It must be the landslides and concentrated earth flow in the river, or the granite flow of the Bentanbosi Creek in the process of passing along the river, this force pushed the bridge deck and caused this one expansion joint to break. Apart from the bridge, the foundations of the southern cross island highway at the 92 kilometer mark have slipped for 500 meters and need repair. The DGH has no way to estimate how long this may take. The main road connecting Namaxia to the outside world is Provincial Highway 29. From Jiaxian district's Wulipu to Namaxia it is damaged as the foundations have slipped in many sections. At the 3.2 kilometer section the road has slipped by 300 meters. ==LEE HUI-MIN Namaxia resident== If you keep going along highway 29, and then go to Xi An Mountain, it takes another extra half an hour to go round that way. Namaxia residents are left with a precarious alternative route to the outside world. Road repair teams estimate it will take until after June 15 to open up the roads again.
