The North Gate is a landmark building in the city of Taipei, but it has long lacked due historical and landscape maintenance. The North Gate Viaduct (Zhongxiao Bridge Approach) opened in 1978 passes close to the North Gate, making the North Gate more visually important. was severely obscured. In view of this, the "Western District Gateway Project", an urban revitalization plan launched by the Taipei City Government in 2015, listed the landscape reconstruction of the North Gate as one of the key projects. In early 2016, the North Gate Viaduct was demolished and at the same time built around the city gate. With a square-like open space, the North Gate is expected to become a historical landmark in Taipei.
