Taoyuan International Airport, Taiwan's busiest aviation hub, announced Wednesday (Oct. 8) that specific lanes near Terminal 2's third-floor departure area will close from Sunday (Oct. 13) to Monday (Oct. 14) for southward traffic route modifications.
Construction crews will work from 10 p.m. Sunday (Oct. 13) to 4 a.m. Monday (Oct. 14), forcing complete closure of Terminal South Road access to Terminal 2's third-floor departure level.
