TRAFFIC on the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau expressway resumed at noon yesterday after 84 vehicles stranded on the expressway following Saturday's massive downpour in Beijing were removed.
One section of the road was submerged in up to 6 meters of floodwater on Saturday.
Ten divers and hundreds of rescuers spent two days pulling submerged cars out of deep water on the expressway, rescuers said. They found the bodies of three drowned victims in the cars. Each diver worked a 40-minute shift.
Another 900-meter section of the expressway was submerged in water four meters deep, the municipal government said.
