The CR6 Section of the Red Line starts from the southern end of Station R14 underneath the intersection of Boai Second/Yucheng roads, runs along Boai Second Road and Boai Third Road and turns left at the intersection of Boai Third Road/Chungshin Road to Chunghe Road before reaching station R16. After exiting station R16, it starts to climb up at 3 % and goes through Panpingshan before ending at the beginning of the Viaduct Section. The total length of CR6 Section is approximately 3.85 km.

The scope of the CR6 Section Civil Contract includes 2 underground stations, R14, and R15, 1 cut and cover tunnel section, 3 bored tunnel sections and 1 mountain tunnel section.
