Contractors continue to backfill soil in hopes of reinforcing the stability of the collapsed retaining wall. Hsinchu Mayor He Ganming suggested immediately resolving the issue of groundwater extraction before proceeding with soil backfilling on the side of the site near Zhuangjing North Road, as well as subsequent road restoration work. Since Zhuangjing North Road is a major traffic artery in Zhubei City, authorities still hope to resume traffic as soon as it is safe. Contractors have also been asked to ensure proper traffic warnings and guidance for alternative routes. The shocking sight of this road depression has sparked widespread online discussion and turned the area into an unintended attraction. Passersby are urged not to linger in the area and to pay attention to safety.
