Roads in severely flood-hit areas such as Hengzhou, Guangxi, have all been restored to traffic

On July 20, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Department of Transportation reported that as of 11 p.m. on July 18, highways and ordinary national and provincial roads in floodhit areas such as Hengzhou and Binyang counties of Nanning, as well as Guigang City, had all been reopened to traffic. Relevant administrative villages and natural villages had also each cleared at least one access route in and out, ensuring the evacuation of people and the transportation of disaster relief supplies. Traffic in other administrative villages across Guangxi has also basically been restored. According to the report, from July 1 to July 19, flooding triggered by Typhoon "Maysak" had at one point disrupted 859 roads and 1,199 sections of roads across Guangxi. Rural roads were hit the hardest, and some waterways, port ferry crossings, and passenger transport routes were also affected. After the disaster occurred, Guangxi's transportation system activated a Level II emergency response, deploying a large number of rescue teams and machinery, and coordinating with emergency management, meteorological, water conservancy, natural resources, and other departments to carry out 24hour roadclearing operations in key areas such as Zhenlong Township in Hengzhou. At present, stranded people have been properly relocated, and all passengers stranded on highways have been safely evacuated. Going forward, relevant departments will continue to push ahead with clearing the remaining road sections, inspecting hazards, and restoring water transport, while strengthening road transport safety controls to prevent secondary disasters.
