A bus breakdown on Zunxiao Bridge toward Taipei caused traffic to back up for about 2.5 kilometers, affecting vehicles approaching from the Sanchong area.

New Taipei police received the report at about 9:53 a.m. The bus had stopped in an outer lane near the middle of the bridge. Rain-slick roads and already slow-moving traffic quickly worsened the congestion.

Live traffic images showed buses and other passenger vehicles packed across the bridge. The New Taipei Transportation Department’s traffic control center and the Sanchong precinct urged drivers to reroute early, using the No. 1 special road near Xinzhuang to avoid the jam.
