Su-Hua Freeway
Su-Hua Freeway (蘇花高速公路) is a future freeway project executed by Taiwan Area National Expressway Engineering Bureau. It will be constructed between Su-ao, Yilan and Ji-an, Hualien. It may cost over 100 billion New Taiwan dollars to build. Due to environmental protection issues, this project is temporarily suspended. The next item will be Hua-dong Freeway and South Link Freeway.
The substitution way of Su-Hua Highway
In 2008, a substitution way of Su-Hua Highway (Provincial Highway No. 9) was suggested, which was named "Suhuati." It will be between Nan-ao, Yilan and Heping, Hualien, and would cost approximately 30 billion NT dollars to build.
In 2010, the project was renamed to Suhuagai, where the project was intended to improve dangerous sections between Suao and Chongde; MOTC said it will start construction in 2011.[1]
