Nighttime closures at Mingjian Interchange on Freeway 3 for road repairs

Drivers using National Freeway No. 3 in Taiwan should be aware of upcoming nighttime closures at the Mingjian Interchange. Both the northbound and southbound entrance ramps will be temporarily shut down to facilitate essential road maintenance work.

The closures are scheduled to take place over three consecutive nights: from June 15 to June 17. During this period, the ramps will be inaccessible between 9 PM and 6 AM each night. The work involves the repair of the asphalt concrete pavement, a necessary measure to ensure the continued safety and efficiency of the roadway.

Given the significant traffic volume at the Mingjian Interchange, the Freeway Bureau's Central Region Expressway Engineering Office urges motorists to plan their routes accordingly. For those intending to travel south, alternative routes include State Highway 3, Zhangnan Road, Yuanji Road, Mingzhu Road, and Nanyun Road, leading to the Zhushan Interchange. Northbound travelers can use State Highway 3, Zhangnan Road Section 1, Nangang Road Section 1, Nangang Road Section 2, Fukuoka Road Section 1, and Huanhe Road to access the Nantou Interchange.

The bureau reminds drivers to reduce speed when approaching the construction zone and to strictly follow the posted signs and guidance from traffic control personnel. If rain occurs during the scheduled period, the construction will be postponed to a later date, with a new announcement to follow. Motorists are encouraged to gather real-time traffic information through various channels, including variable message signs, radio broadcasts, the Freeway Bureau's website, or the 1968 app, to avoid potential congestion.
