Nanjing Road (Taipei)

Nanjing Road (Chinese: 南京路; pinyin: Nánjīng Lù; also called 11th Avenue) is a major arterial in Taipei, Taiwan, connecting the Datong district in the west with the Zhongshan and Songshan districts in the east. Nanjing Road is known for tremendous traffic, channeling traffic from the MacAuthur 1st Bridge into central Taipei. There are bus lanes and platforms in the middle of the roadway because of the great transit use in the vicinity of the road. Nanjing Road is currently being reconstructed because of the addition of an underground MRT line for most of the entire corridor.
