Road reopened after landslide at Keelung’s Chaojing Park

2024-06-10

Traffic has been restored on Provincial Highway No. 2 at Keelung’s Chaojing Park, which was struck by a landslide last Monday. Rubble had fallen over the road, damaging 11 vehicles and blocking traffic in both directions. After a week of repairs, the mountain slope has been stabilized and the debris cleared away. The road was reopened ahead of schedule at 2 p.m. on Monday, just in time for Dragon Boat Festival.

Workers rush to collect traffic cones. One week after a landslide, the road in front of Keelung’s Chaojing Park reopened at 2 p.m.

Cars began flooding in as soon as the barriers came down, bringing holidaymakers eager to sightsee on Dragon Boat Festival. Some visitors pulled out their phones to snap a photo of the repaired slope.

Time-lapse photography records the process, showing soil and rocks carpeting the road before they’re gradually lifted away.

Highway Bureau Keelung section chief
We used three layers of concrete blocks as one protection measure. As a second measure, we placed Jersey barriers 3 meters away from the concrete. This way, there’s a buffer zone that allows any small falling rocks to be contained.

A landslide struck Keelung’s Chaojing Park at 2 p.m. last Monday, closing down the Beining Road entrance of Provincial Highway No. 2. The rubble damaged 11 vehicles and sent two people to the hospital. According to the transport ministry, the landslide was due to heavy rain and a recent string of earthquakes. It took one week of repairs to restore traffic.

Li Men-yen
Transport minister
We are opening the road one day earlier than expected, at 2 p.m. today. The speed limit will be maintained at 25 kilometers an hour. We will also have personnel monitoring the situation and making changes as needed.

The National Museum of Marine Science and Technology has launched discounts to celebrate the reopening. From Tuesday to June 30, tickets will be half-price for all exhibits. The museum will also hold a raffle draw, in hopes of bringing crowds back to the scenic area.

基隆潮境公園坍方趕工7天週一14時提前通車

2024-06-10

基隆潮境公園入口處山坡，上周一無預警山崩，不但造成雙向道路受阻，還波及11輛車。經過一周搶修，昨天(9)清出所有崩塌土方，今天(10)辦理損壞路面刨除加封，以及邊坡邊腳防護等作業。原定明天中午通車，提前至今天下午兩點通車。

馬不停蹄把路上的警示三角錐一一收起來，基隆潮境公園路口坍方後，終於在10號下午2點正式通車了。

雙向一開通，紛紛湧進大批車潮，而且正值端午節，不少人來這裡遊玩，也有人拿起手機拍下邊坡，回溯整個修復過程。

透過縮時攝影鏡頭，完整記錄下，從山崩後大片落石佔據整個道路，一直到把所有土石全數清空。

“我們用混泥土方塊來做三層堆疊，來進行一個防護，那第二道防護就是，我們將紐澤西護欄，放在我們的混泥土外3米處，那這樣子會有一些餘裕的空間，讓上面的邊坡，即使有一些零星小落石，都可以在我們護欄之內”

回顧這起令人山崩事件，台二線北寧路潮境公園路口山壁，3號下午2點多，發生大規模走山，11車遭到波及，2人受傷送醫，交通部研判是連日地震和豪雨所致，花了整整一周時間搶修，終於開通。

[[交通部長李孟諺]]
“我們等於比原來預期提早一天，在今天的下午2點來通行，所以這邊的速限，也要維持25公里，我們也會有相關的人員，來隨時監控整個狀況做應變”

海科館為了迎接暢通的濱海道路，祭出優惠活動，11號到30號期間，各場館門票半價，還有消費滿額可以抽獎，希望能讓這裡的人潮恢復以往盛況。
