China’s Wuhan suspends public transportation, outward flights, trains Coronavirus Outbreak:

Central China’s megacity of Wuhan battling with a pneumonia outbreak has announced to suspend public transportation, and close the airport and railway stations to outgoing passengers, while asking citizens not to leave the city without specific reasons.

City buses, subways, ferries and long-distance coaches, as well as flights and trains for outgoing passengers will be suspended starting from 10 a.m. Thursday until further notice, said a notice issued in the wee hours of Thursday by Wuhan’s headquarters for the control and treatment of the pneumonia caused by the novel coronavirus.

The measures will be taken in a bid to “effectively cut off the virus spread, resolutely curb the outbreak and guarantee the people’s health and safety,” the notice said.

A total of 444 cases of new coronavirus-related pneumonia and 17 deaths had been reported in Hubei Province as of 8 p.m. Wednesday, with the majority in Wuhan, the provincial capital.

Scale of China’s Wuhan Shutdown Is Believed to Be Without Precedent

New York Times revisited, “James G. Hodge Jr., director of the Center for Public Health Law and Policy at Arizona State University, said the shutdown would almost certainly lead to human rights violations and would be patently unconstitutional in the United States.”In sealing off a city of 11 million people, China is trying to halt a coronavirus outbreak using a tactic with a complicated history of ethical concerns.

Highway on Tianlong Mountain

The construction of the highway on Tianlong Mountain 天龙山 in Taiyuan, N China’s Shanxi Province started in March 2019 after the old road built in 1996 suffered wear and tear. The new highway is about 30 kilometers long with a vertical gain of 350 meters. The entire highway reconstruction project also includes four bridges and a tunnel. It reduced the grade from 15% to 4%, which has greatly improved safety. The project completed in September 2019.
