Reconstruction of quake damage in Sichuan nearly over

BEIJING - Workers have almost finished rebuilding the parts of Southwest China's Sichuan province that were hit by a deadly earthquake in 2008, a vice-governor of Sichuan announced on Friday.

The province has finished 99 percent of the nearly 30,000 projects called for by a national-level reconstruction plan that was assembled by the State Council shortly after the devastating Wenchuan earthquake hit the province in 2008, according to Wei Hong, vice-governor of Sichuan, who also led the province's reconstruction committee.

Moreover, 13,647 provincial-level projects have been essentially completed in 12 counties that were greatly damaged by the disaster and 91 counties that were not quite so badly damaged, Wei said.
