Floor slabs of the first tall building have been concreted. Steel frame of second tall building is under construction now. Roof structure assembly is complete (south-west). Preparations for shifting the old station building to final location can be seen. Braced excavations of construction pits are proceeding. The green corridor to the east and west of the station looks finally green after the recent rainfall.

Episode 07
Status as per 2021, early March.
Key event is the begin of dismantling Zhongbo Bridge 中博高架橋. The steel-concrete composite road bridge connected Jhongshan 1st Road in the south and Boai 1st Road in the north of the station's track and platform area. The temporary bridge went into operation in May 2003 and was closed for traffic at 00:00 o'clock of 27 February 2021. The bridge once had taken the vehicular traffic from a tunnel under the railway tracks, which was permanently closed in connection with the MRT station construction works. 06:00 o'clock on 2021-03-08 newly built Jhansi Road 站西路 was opened for traffic (west side of the new station building). The works for rerouting the traffic from the bridge to the street have been carried out within a tight schedule of about nine days. This became possible due to good planning of the activities and mobilization of plenty of construction equipment (including mobile cranes, excavators, asphalt milling machines, rollers, pavers, and rollers).

The bridge consists of a single pylon with an inverted Y-frame and a single central plane cable system including 28 cable stays. The longitudinal arrangement of the bridge has an unsymmetrical configuration with a main span of 330 m and a side span of 184.4 m. The deck structure of the bridge is constructed with a single steel box girder in the main span and a single reinforced concrete box girder in the side span in order to balance the loads acting on the pylon.

Views of Dawu Coast Park and Dawu Rainbow Village, Dawu Township, Taitung County, Taiwan.
Dawu Coast Park 大武濱海公園 is located at the south end of Taitung County at the 420 km mark of the Provincial Highway No. 9. It is an outlook to view the Pacific Ocean and the towering Central Mountain Range in the other direction. Across from Dawu Coast Park on Provincial Highway No. 9, there is a row of colorful buildings called the Dawu Rainbow Village 大武彩虹村. Typhoon Morakot in 2009 destroyed the Fushan Tribal Village, and the villagers were forced to move to Dawu Village at the foot of the mountain to establish a new residence. The villagers transformed this row of houses’ dull exterior walls into the bright rainbow-colored design it is today with the sponsorship of a world renewed paint company (Caparol).
