Central News Agency (CNA reporter Hao Xueqing, Taichung, 30th) Due to continuous rainfall in the central mountainous area, a large-scale collapse of soil and rocks occurred on the slope at kilometer 2 of Zhong 91 Line Touping Alley in Shihgang District, Taichung City. The Dongshi Precinct of the Taichung City Police Bureau stated that preliminary repairs were completed early this morning, restoring single-lane traffic, and double-lane traffic is expected to resume today. The Dongshi Precinct said that after receiving the report around 9:40 PM yesterday, police officers were immediately dispatched to the scene. At that time, a large amount of soil and rocks had accumulated on the road, blocking passage for vehicles and pedestrians. Subsequently, the Shihgang Disaster Response Center was notified to coordinate engineering and repair units to clear the obstruction. Traffic cones and a cordon were set up at the scene to direct traffic and advise pedestrians and vehicles. Police stated that after nearly 3 hours of emergency clearing operations, engineering personnel completed preliminary repairs at 0:15 AM today, restoring single-lane traffic. However, as the rain continued, the soil and rocks in the collapsed section remained loose. To prevent secondary disasters, police have continued to set up warning signs and caution tape on both sides of the scene, reminding passing drivers to slow down and not to linger. The Dongshi Precinct said that there have been multiple slope collapses in the mountainous area recently and advises road users to avoid entering mountainous areas unless absolutely necessary. Mountain roads have complex terrain, and continuous rainfall has caused soil loosening, making rockfalls and collapses highly likely, especially at steep slopes and turns where extra vigilance is required.
