Reconstructing the Main Road?

Synopsis

The Central Transverse Road along the Da-Jia River was constructed around forty years ago. After the 921-Earthquake, central Taiwan was dramatically changed and so was the road. Believing in the idea of " mainland counterattack", it was constructed to connect eastern and western Taiwan. 40 years later, the dream of taking back China did not come true. By then those veteran road constructors were getting very old. The Central Transverse Road was their only legacy.
