History
edit
Nangang Station was originally built duringJapanese rule of Taiwanin 1899 to support local industries and the growing population. Since then, the station has been upgraded three times to support tremendous growth: in 1905, in 1966 (due to theKMTmoving theROCgovernment to Taiwan), and in 1986–1987 (to accommodate increased passenger traffic and new cargo traffic).
Expansion
editAs with most urban train stations inTaipei,Nangang Station was converted from a surface station to an underground station as part of theTRA'sTaipei Railway Underground Project,an effort to move existing surface railways fromSongshan Stationto east of Nangang Station underground to accommodate growing traffic and economic development inNankang Software Park.Existing TRA platforms were successfully moved underground on 21 September 2008. The 7.6-km tunnel project costNT$76.5 billion.[12]Thehigh-speed railextension to the station opened for service in 2016.[13]
The new station is similar to the then-newBanqiao StationinNew Taipei,which was reconstructed to accommodate underground platforms andmixed-use developmenton the existing station site. The two-level, underground station levels accommodate expanded TRA platforms, newTHSRplatforms, and new MRT platforms for theBannan linewhich was opened on 25 December 2008. It served as the eastern terminal untilTaipei Nangang Exhibition CenterBannan Line platform opened in 2011. On 3 January 2010, Exits 3 and 4 for metro station were closed for construction of a passageway with the TRA station.[14]The entire project was completed in February 2011. Platform screen doors were installed on the Nangang line platforms in August 2015.
Public art
editThe design of the Taipei Metro portion of the station centers around a "Nostalgia and Technology" theme with aqua green selected to signify an image of a fish pond. Paintings by artistJimmy Liaoare displayed around the station including on the platform walls. Many areas havesandblastedglass installed.[15]On the platform, a piece titled "Rapid Transit Platform, the Transport Dock" displays images on benches to evoke memories of former industries in Nangang.[16]
