Station overview
Summarize
Perspective
This four-level, underground station has an island platform. It is located beneath the intersection of Minquan West Rd., Chongqing South Rd., and the south side of Daqiao Elementary School Stadium.[3] It opened for service on 3 November 2010 with the opening of the Luzhou Branch Line and the Taipei City section of the Xinzhuang Line.[4][5]
History
Originally, plans for the Xinzhuang Line did not include a station in the Daqiaotou (大橋頭) area. However, as part of the city government's urban renewal policy, the area around the station was zoned for redevelopment and revitalization.[6] Thus, in October 2007, it was announced that a new station would be added - Daqiao Elementary School Station.[7] Shortly before the opening of the line, the station name was changed to Daqiaotou station to reflect the station's historical significance.[8][9]
Design
The station has a light roof, glass curtain walls, and an arc ceiling.[6] Interior station design is themed "Tales of an Important Bridge" (referring to Taipei Bridge) and features the Tamsui River, Dihua Street marketplace, and historic Daqiao Elementary School.[6]
Construction
Excavation depth for this station is 32 meters deep. It is 158 meters in length and 19.85 meters wide.[6] It has three entrances, one accessibility elevator, and two vent shafts. The entrances connect with existing pedestrian underpasses and two joint development buildings.
During construction, an 85-year-old red arched gate was temporarily removed. A swimming pool and students' play facilities were also demolished for station construction.[10] The historic gate has since been moved back to its original position, and new swimming and play facilities have been constructed.
