Rescue and engineering crews worked in three shifts on Sunday to reopen the section of the G216 national highway leading to Gyirong Port in southwest China's Xizang Autonomous Region that was damaged by a mudslide on the China-Nepal border.

Between 7:30 a.m. and 11 p.m., crews widened more than 230 meters of road and removed over 9,000 cubic meters of mudslide debris. Work continued through the night, advancing about 30 meters by 7 a.m. on Monday and reaching a gully where flowing water, deep deposits and a washed-out roadbed are complicating operations.

Large rocks are being transported to the site to reinforce the roadbed as excavators, loaders and trucks continue advancing toward the border gate.
