Chengdu, Yaxi section of G5 Beijing-Kunming Expressway? At the exit of Yaoheba Tunnel in Xichang direction (from Shimian to Liziping section), the mountain suddenly collapsed, and the earth and stone rolling down from the mountain directly washed away expressway, resulting in the collapse of the bridge deck of expressway at the foot of the mountain and the interruption of two-way roads. When the collapse accident occurred, the high-speed traffic police immediately rushed to the incident section for disposal. At present, all vehicles from Xichang to Chengdu have stepped diversion at Yihai security checkpoint and Liziping toll station of Yaxi Expressway, and all vehicles from Chengdu to Xichang have stepped diversion at Yaxi Expressway security checkpoint and Shimian toll station.

After the accident, the high-speed public security, high-speed law enforcement and expressway Company held an emergency meeting, and during the meeting, they worked out a plan to get through this section of expressway. Due to the serious collapse of the bridge deck in this section, it is impossible to predict the exact recovery time of the expressway for the time being.

At the same time, the police also reminded car owners not to drive back and forth between Chengdu and Xichang in the near future to avoid being persuaded to return due to road control, and vehicles from Chengdu to Panzhihua should not choose Yaxi Expressway. Car owners need to plan other routes in advance.
