In accordance with the principle of “passage first, then solidity”, seize the smooth flow of the traffic lifeline to provide traffic guarantee for the province’s post-disaster recovery and reconstruction and economic and social development. Shanxi Provincial Highway Bureau, in accordance with the principles of science, standardization and high efficiency, coordinated and organized the operation of highways and flood control of the projects under construction. For the existing small landslides and rockfall sections on the existing roads, we should promptly clear the road obstacles and resume traffic as soon as possible; for the more severely affected sections, we will concentrate manpower, financial resources and material resources to carry out rushing through, and strive to restore traffic in the shortest time; For sections with extremely severe disasters and geological disasters that may continue to occur, strengthen observation and monitoring, and in line with the principle of sealing up as much as possible, and as early as possible, strive for traffic police departments to implement traffic control and simultaneously initiate restoration and reconstruction procedures. The road disaster also brought new challenges to the energy supply and transportation during the heating season.
