Beijing's roads and subways ready for flood season

Beijing's transportation and traffic systems are preparing for the coming torrential rains this flood season, the city's urban development agency said.

Subway stations in the city, including those under construction, will be well-prepared for the heavy rains expected in the next three months, according to a safety inspection by the Beijing Commission of Housing and Urban-Rural Development on Tuesday.

On the construction site of section 14 on Line 8, sand bags and water pumps have been placed to handle excess rainwater.
