Levee Restoration Work Rapid Pitch May be rainy over the weekend Saitama Oct 17 17:13
In Saitama Prefecture, where typhoon No. 19 broke down continuously, there was a risk that it would rain all over the weekend, and bank rehabilitation work was proceeding at a rapid pace.
In Saitama Prefecture, bank breaks occurred in the Koshibe River and Tokugawa River flowing through Kawagoe City and Higashimatsuyama City, and many houses were damaged by water.
In the prefecture, there is a risk that it will rain all over the weekend, so restoration work is proceeding at a rapid pace at the site where the embankment broke down.
Of these, at the site of Kawagoe City, where the embankment collapsed over a length of 70 meters, concrete blocks were laid out so that river water would not overflow from the broken part.
Kenta Matayoshi of the Arakawa upstream river office of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism says, “I want to proceed with the construction as soon as possible so that new damage does not occur due to the rain on the weekend.”
