Hi Viatologists,

Here's an interesting ROC newspaper article from February.  It discusses the
temporary closure of a interregional connector due to falling rocks and
nearby loose soil:

Nantou is located south of, and along the western end of the Taiwanese isle.
Route 14A helps push motorists between intracoastal cities and runs parallel
to the Route 3 motorway.  The route, as you may expect, is back open to the
public.  It remains to be seen if the road will get further modifications to
reinforce the roadway and detain run-off sediment.

the WHL is proud to have photographers from three continents.  This unique
perspective transcends local customs and prepares you, the worldwide
visitor, a more objective look at the conduits that connect people and

plans more accordingly!  Come visit today.
