Passengers should choose other entrances for accessing the station during the construction period. Work is slated for completion in mid-February of 2018. Installation work for the new escalator at exit 7 will follow, with completion date set for October 2018.Notices will be posted at the station and broadcast via platform television and “Taipei MRT GO” smartphone app during the construction period.
