The Ministry of Transport has passed the review of a revised plan for the
second phase of the Danhai Light Rail in Tamsui.

The plan will now be submitted to the Cabinet for approval.

According to New Taipei Department of Rapid Transit Systems, construction of
the second phase of the Danhai light rail Blue Sea Line is set to be
completed within five years of the Cabinet granting approval for the project.

The Blue Sea light rail first phase opened in November of 2020.

The planned second phase of the line will link Tamsui M-R-T station with
Tamsui Fisherman's Wharf.

It initially included a section that ran through Tamsui Old Street, but the
rapid transit department modified the route due to protests by local
residents.

The new plan means the light rail line will run alongside the Tamsui River.

The planned line will have six stations and extend the operating route of
Danhai light rail to 6.6-kilometers.
