Departments of transportation, power, water resources, and grain and material reserves in Liaoning are racing to repair damage from Typhoon Bavi and restore road access and electricity in affected areas.
The heavy rainfall cut off 11 sections of ordinary trunk highways, concentrated in Fushun, Tieling, and Chaoyang cities. The provincial transportation department has been continuously coordinating recovery work under the principle of “trunk roads first, then county and township roads; key points first, then general ones; passage first, then full restoration.” It dispatched technical experts and special task forces to Fushun, Benxi, Dandong, and Tieling for on-site guidance. By 16:00 on July 15, three sections had been reopened: the K297 section of Provincial Highway Fuhuan in Xinbin, Fushun, and the K133 and K152 sections of National Highway Suizhu in Chaoyang. The three remaining closures in Fushun are expected to be cleared by early July 17, and the five in Tieling by 18:00 on July 16. Altogether, the transportation system deployed 4,556 patrol and maintenance personnel and 2,123 vehicles for round-the-clock inspections, and mobilized 1,756 emergency workers and 547 pieces of machinery to address 865 water-related hazards such as damaged roadbeds, muddy surfaces, and rockfalls, without triggering secondary disasters.
State Grid Liaoning Electric Power Co. transferred 348 distribution repair workers from 11 municipal power supply companies to Shenyang, Fushun, and Tieling for emergency power generation and fault repairs. The company adopted a working model of “one plan per residential compound, one work team, one on-site commander, and one dedicated safety supervisor.” For substation sites flooded by standing water, three restoration schemes were applied: temporary box-type transformers, low-voltage cross-line connections, and power supply backed by mobile generator trucks. All power restoration plans are now being implemented on an accelerated schedule.
The provincial water resources department continues to arrange for the evacuation of residents upstream and downstream of reservoirs and to patrol and reinforce embankments along the Liao, Hun, Taizi, and Pu rivers. Through coordinated reservoir and river forecasting and regulation, earlier floodwaters have been effectively retained, and reservoirs are now releasing water in a stepwise, flow-controlled manner to reduce flood pressure on downstream river channels, especially along the Liao and Hun rivers.
The provincial grain and material reserves bureau remains on emergency footing. On the evening of July 15, following a directive from the provincial emergency management department, it dispatched 8,515 items of provincial relief supplies—including tents, folding beds, cotton quilts, and cotton mattresses—to eight counties and districts in Tieling for the settlement of affected residents.
