Previously affected by consecutive impacts from Typhoon Talim and the southwestern monsoon, Provincial Highway 18, the Alishan Highway, implemented precautionary road closures between kilometers 35–61 and 66–88, which were reopened at 7:00 AM and 1:00 PM yesterday, respectively. The Forest District Office reminds the public that due to days of heavy rainfall, mountainous areas have high soil moisture content, making them prone to falling rocks and landslides, and with unstable weather conditions, visitors should pay extra attention to their personal safety.
