Traffic was stuck on the Junhong Road in Fangshan District -- a suburban area in southwestern Beijing -- due to a serious landslide there early on Saturday, with no casualties reported.
About 30,000 cubic meters of heavy boulders and soil slided onto the road in Da'anshan Town of Fangshan at around 8:30 a.m., as heavy rainfall overnight loosened soil on the mountain nearby. Vehicles on both lanes of the road were held up.
Luckily, no casualties were reported, as a result that local government petrol men observed some fallen stones on the road, and had the road closed immediately and evacuated a nearby household. Just 10 minutes following the closure, the serious landslide happened.
Several government departments including the local road administration, land planning bureau, public security authorities, and emergency department rapidly responded to the disaster. They are now maintaining the closed road and have organized experts to study the disaster.
After the disaster, buses had to make a detour, and emergency trails were opened.
Repair work is still on at the stretch.
