Reported about 1 year ago

Following a significant earthquake in Hualien, the region's transportation arteries, such as the Suhua Highway, have been prone to landslides and rockfalls, leading to disruption in traffic flow. The instability of mountainous roads and slopes in Hualien may persist for 7 to 8 years, or even up to 20 years. Various incidents of landslides and collapses have occurred in June, affecting both road and rail routes. Efforts to stabilize these areas are underway, including the implementation of protective measures and the construction of additional infrastructure.
