Main article: Central Cross-Island Highway

The Provincial Highway 8 passes through Heping District to the east side of the island. On September 21, 1999, the 921 earthquake caused severe damage to the road, and is unlikely to be repaired. The section east of Guguan is now permanently closed to non-residents. Provincial Highway No. 14A now serves as an alternate route.
