Keelung Road

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Keelung Road

Keelung Road (Chinese: 基隆路; pinyin: Jīlóng Lù is a major arterial road and highway in Taipei, Taiwan, named for Keelung. It connects the Neihu district from the MacArthur 1st Bridge in the east with the Songshan, Xinyi, and Daan districts towards the southwest, with a connection to Yonghe City via the Fuhe Bridge.[1]

Keelung Road is a very congested route because of its connections to and from Huandong Boulevard, Tiding Boulevard, Civic Boulevard, Xinhai Road/National Freeway 3A, Shuiyuan Expressway, and the Fuhe Bridge, which are all major transportation corridors. There are a series of reversible lanes and bypasses (above ground and underground) along the corridor to provide traffic relief within the small right-of-way.
