The Freeway Bureau will implement high-traffic load controls along National Freeway No. 1 (southbound) on Wednesday, April 4, from 07:00-12:00. In Taipei City, these control points will include eight locations: Chongqing North Road Interchange Exit (southbound), Minzu East Road Songjiang Road Exit, Binjiang Street (Dajia Elementary School) Highway Exit (southbound), Jianguo Elevated Road (northbound toward Jianguo Elevated Road, before Minquan East Road Exit) Huanhe North Road Exit (southbound), Chenggong Road Section 2 Interchange Exit (southbound), Xizhi-Wugu Elevated Highway Gangqian Road Exit at Tiding Boulevard (southbound), and Xizhi-Wugu Elevated Highway Jiuzong Road Section 2 Exit (southbound).
