Is the Luodong to Hualien road open?

I plan to ride my scooter from Taipei down to Yuli and back up the coast on the old Suhua Highway, and I want to know if the coastal road is open, or if it’s still open 3 times per day.
I’d also like to know if any part of Taroko is open. How far can you go on the way to Tienhsiang?
Has anyone taken this road between Ilan and Hualien recently?

Info about all the roads you mentioned is available in English on Taroko’s website: Taroko National Park World Wide Web-English Version-Roads and Trails
