To inspect and verify management methods after the opening, and to strengthen the rescue capability of the management unit and the joint defense unit, the General Directorate of Highways (The District Four Maintenance Office) is scheduled to conduct drills on Provincial Highway 9 on November 8 from 10:00am to 11:00pm. The situation will simulate "a major accident in the tunnel and overall emergency response measures to this incident".
The drills are to enhance the handling ability and familiarity of responders by measuring the differences in size, scale, and carrying capacity, and verifying the evacuation strategy through traffic management operations outside the area. In order to conduct this drill, Provincial Highway 9 from Su’ao to Dong'ao will be temporarily closed from 10:00am to 11:00am on November 8. Motorists travelling from Su’ao to Hualien will need to alter the route to Provincial Highway 9D (Old Su-hua Highway). Please cooperate with the on-site traffic control during this time.
