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.
