By Lee I-chia / Staff reporter
Two subcontractors for the Taipei Dome project have been fined a total NT$90,000 after steel rods fell from the construction site onto a road, the Taipei City Government said yesterday.
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Taipei City Councilor Hsu Chiao-hsin (徐巧芯) said she received a tip-off about reinforcing steel rods having fallen from the structure, smashing an outer fence and landing partly on the road surface of Guangfu S Road at about 8am on Sunday.
The incident was captured by the dashboard camera of a vehicle parked on the road, Hsu said, adding that fortunately no one was passing by the area at the time, which prevented injuries.
