Construction
The entire system is expected to cost NT$113.85 billion. The first train sets from Kawasaki Heavy Industries are expected to be delivered by July 2011. Platform screen doors will be installed at all underground stations, while elevated stations will be equipped with automatic platform gates. By July 2011, the last of the line's elevated support pillars will be erected and by August 2011, construction of the elevated viaducts will be completed.
In addition to tracks and stations, joint development projects are planned to boost development around stations. In April 2011, Kingdom Construction Corp. signed a contract to construct a 16-story residential and commercial building near the future Linkou Station.

Famous quotes containing the word construction:
“There is, I think, no point in the philosophy of progressive education which is sounder than its emphasis upon the importance of the participation of the learner in the formation of the purposes which direct his activities in the learning process, just as there is no defect in traditional education greater than its failure to secure the active cooperation of the pupil in construction of the purposes involved in his studying.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
