TAINAN (TVBS News) — The Tainan City railway underground project is expected to be completed by the end of 2026,Minister of Transportation and Communications Li Meng-yen (李孟諺) said on Wednesday (June 12).

The onsite visitincluded a visit to the level crossing at Cambridge Avenue (康橋大道) in Yongkang District.

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Chun-hsien (林俊憲) highlighted that the Tainan railway underground project has already reached 86.2 percent completion.

Minister Li praisedPresident Lai Ching-te for investing considerable effort in the Tainan Metro project. With President Lai's support, the project's progress is expected to accelerate, he added.

The Ministry of Transportation and Communicationswill fund the feasibility study for the Tainan Metro Yellow Line, which will kickstart preliminary work and accelerate the development of Tainan's metro system.

This initiative marks a significant step towards alleviating traffic congestion and enhancing the transportation infrastructure in Tainan, promising a more efficient and accessible city for residents and visitors alike.
