On February 11th, 2016, Taipei’s 132-year-old Beimen, or North Gate, formally called the Cheng-En Gate, was finally restored to its ancient elegance after having been partially hidden from view by the Zhongxiao Bridge accessroad overpass for 39 years. On February 7th the Taipei City Government began demolition of the overpass, with an eight-day work period originally scheduled. However, as a result of the diligent joint efforts of the public sector and contractors, in a display of high efficiency the demolition was completed two days ahead of schedule, on February 11th.
