Emergency workers in north China's flood-stricken Hebei Province are intensifying efforts to repair damaged roads and bridges to ensure the smooth delivery of essential supplies and rescue equipment.

Continuous heavy rainfall in recent days has triggered flash floods and landslides across the province, impacting several counties.

In Xinglong County, a section of National Highway 234 – an important local transportation route and the only main access to the township – was temporarily disrupted, forcing vehicles and pedestrians to take a detour.

The local transportation department quickly deployed nearly 100 personnel and over 20 pieces of rescue equipment to restore the road. Following a full day of hard work, the blocked section was cleared by Saturday morning.

In Chicheng County, 15 rural bridges were severely damaged by the heavy rainfall, including one that connects the village of Lujiaogou in Sandaochuan Township to surrounding areas.

Located in a remote mountainous area, Lujiaogou Village is a natural village under the jurisdiction of Heilongshan Administrative Village.

"There are now about 50 or 60 villagers in this village, including a large number of elderly people. This bridge is the only way out of the village," said Li Jialiang, Party branch secretary of Heilongshan Village.

To speed up the restoration process, the local transportation department arranged for two excavators to operate simultaneously.

After about eight hours of intense work, the bridge was repaired and reopened to traffic on Friday afternoon.

"It was really fast! They rebuilt it in just one day," said a local villager.

As of Saturday morning, traffic had resumed on 961 road sections across Hebei.
