Transport Minister Wang Kwo-tsai says his office has now finalized the
location of the planned high speed rail station in Yilan.

The Transport Minister says the location is near the county government
complex, and work on the extension line from Taipei could begin as early as
2025.

The statement comes after the transport ministry first began evaluating
extending the network... from Nangang Station to Yilan in October of 2019.

Four proposals for the station's location were initially made.

But the transport minister says his office has now opted to go with a fifth
proposal and the stations will be built 350 meters south of the Yilan County
Hall.

Wang says the plan for the extension will be reviewed by the ministry next
year...

an environmental impact assessment and detailed designs will be completed
between 20-22 and 20-24.

The government hopes construction on the extension will be completed by 2036.
