Fuxing Road is known for the many elaborate shopping malls located along the road, such as the Taipei SOGO, the Breeze Center, and the Sunrise Department Store.
Fuxing Road is divided into north and south sections by Zhongxiao East Road, as is with most north–south arterials in Taipei. The southern section is divided into two numbered sections, while the northern section has no numbered sections.
In November 2006, Taipei opened a new section of Fuxing Road between Minzu East Road and the Dazhi Bridge, providing a new connection between the Dazhi neighborhood and central Taipei without having to drive around Songshan Airport. The new connection is a four-lane tunnel travelling under Songshan Airport and is restricted to motorized vehicles only.
