[周刊王CTWANT] The strong earthquake hit the Huadong Railway, and the traffic in Huadong entered a dark period. Affected by the successive strong earthquakes in Hualien and Taitung, the rookie Guluanxi Bridge between Yuli and Dongli in Taiwan Railway was seriously damaged, and the bridge was displaced by 20 to 100 cm. Although Minister of Communications Wang Guocai recently instructed, it is hoped that the Huadong Railway will be repaired within one month. , reopened to traffic, but due to the serious damage to the bridge, Wang Guocai confirmed in the evening that the repair may take 6 months, which will not only affect the National Day holiday transportation, but also the return to hometown during the Lunar New Year next year.
The 918 earthquake caused many damages to the tracks of the Taiwan Railway. The latest report of the Taiwan Railway pointed out that regarding 40 poles of the rookie Guluanxi Bridge were broken and damaged, the front of the bridge was raised by 50 cm, the bridge piers were uplifted, the abutment was skewed, and the bridge was displaced by 20 to 100 cm. The Public Works Office of the Taiwan Railway Administration conducted an on-site investigation on the 19th, and on the 20th, ZTE Consulting Company conducted a visual survey of the entire bridge components to confirm the degree of damage, and a report is scheduled to be submitted next week. The Taiwan Railway Administration emphasized that when it will be connected, it will wait for the evaluation report to be released.
The Huadong Railway was interrupted, and Wang Guocai said recently that it may take more than a month to resume traffic. However, it is understood that Taiwan Railway and ZTE engineering consultant technicians went to the site for inspection in the past two days, and they are not optimistic. From Hualien to Taitung Railway, 11 places along the line were impacted by the earthquake, causing the rails to bend and deform, causing buckling. Among them, the situation of the rookie Guluanxi Bridge is the least optimistic, and it may take several months to repair.
Wang Zhaoxian, director of the Public Works Department of the Taiwan Railway Administration, admitted that there will be two difficulties in order to open to traffic safely. The first is that the power pole foundation is attached to the bridge, but the earthquake separated them, and the power foundation must be rebuilt. , It has to be redesigned and calculated. After all, without the power pole foundation, there will be no power poles and no tram lines, and the trains will not be able to run.
Second, the structure of the rookie Guluanxi Bridge has been displaced. With the current engineering technology, it is not impossible to restore the displaced bridge. However, the Taiwan Railway must wait for the report next week to decide how to strengthen it. This will also affect the opening time.
The Huadong Railway Transportation was hit hard by the strong earthquake. Although the Ministry of Communications has launched a “train-like” bus connection, there is only one bus per hour on average. If the seats are full or missed, you will have to wait at least an hour. Holidays may be more time-consuming. During the dark period, the people complained once more and once more.
