Troubled road needs new repairs

8.7b-yuan project turns 'problematic'

A highway in Northwest China's Gansu province that had to be repaired soon after it was finished last year was found to be damaged again after the heavy rainstorms hit the region in recent weeks.

The Tianshui-Dingxi Highway, part of the G30 Highway running 4,395 kilometers from East China's Jiangsu province to Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, had cave-ins, holes and other damage, according to a report released by the Gansu provincial transportation department on Saturday.
