The repairs for the 188-meter-long breach of the Zhongzhou Dike near the Poyang Lake, in east China's Jiangxi Province have been completed.

The dike was breached on July 9 following continuous downpours. 

Crews then began to repair the dike on Monday.

Repairs started with the broadening and solidification of the road, enabling excavators to pass through.

Following the road repair, a massive amount of earth and stones was transported to fix the breach.

In the final phase, large blocks of stones were used to mitigate the impact of the flood flow.
