Taipei MRT Circular Line Begins Construction Connecting Shilin to Dazhi
Posted on 2025-04-16 16:08:13
Construction has begun on the final stretch of the Taipei MRT Circular Line's north section, connecting Shilin and Dazhi.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an attended the groundbreaking ceremony today, saying that once complete, the full Circular Line will significantly cut travel time between taipei and New Taipei City, and help ease traffic congestion in Neihu.
The new section stretches 4.2-kilometers long, and will include a station near the National Palace Museum with an underground passageway connecting the station to the museum plaza.
Officials say engineers face many challenges, including shallow rock layers and soft clay, as well as a tunnel that will pass through a fault zone under a mountain.
But they say the MRT segment will boost local tourism and businesses, as well as offer fast travel between districts.
