The existing Liukuaicuo Station will be moved about 1.6 kilometers west, and about 3 kilometers of existing railway will be rebuilt as an elevated section.
The relocation of Liukuaicuo Station and railway elevation project is targeting an opening in 2035, or Minguo year 124.
The main line of the high-speed rail extension to Pingtung will be about 26.2 kilometers long, including about 18.6 kilometers underground and about 7.6 kilometers elevated.
The High-Speed Rail Pingtung Special District covers about 307 hectares. Planned nearby facilities include Pingtung Science Park, an international baseball stadium and Pingtung Experimental High School.
The High-Speed Rail Pingtung Station is expected to be located around 台糖's Liukuaicuo Farm in Pingtung City, Pingtung County, and share a station with the relocated TRA Liukuaicuo Station.
Pingtung International Baseball Stadium is expected to be completed by the end of 2027.
