仮堤防の補強工事完了＝千曲川決壊箇所－避難指示を解除・長野

　台風１９号による豪雨で決壊した長野市穂保の千曲川の堤防決壊現場で３０日、仮堤防の補強工事が完了した。工事の終了を受け、市は１２日深夜から周辺に出してきた避難指示を解除した。
　国土交通省などによると、堤防は約７０メートルにわたって決壊。濁流が住宅街を襲い、市内の５０００棟超に浸水被害が出た。
　同省北陸地方整備局は決壊箇所に土砂を積んだ仮堤防を建設。その周囲に鋼板を約３２０メートルにわたり打ち込む補強工事を２４時間態勢で進めてきた。排水作業も進み、穂保地区などの浸水について「水たまりは残るもののおおむね解消した」（同整備局）という。（2019/10/30-12:15）

Reinforcement work was completed on Wednesday for a makeshift levee along the Chikuma River in the central Japan city of Nagano after the original levee was breached following torrential rain brought by Typhoon Hagibis earlier this month.
   Upon completion of the work, the city government lifted an evacuation order in areas near the scene of the breach that had been in place since Oct. 12.
   According to the land ministry, the original levee collapsed in a 70-meter stretch, causing muddy water to flood nearby residential areas and submerge over 5,000 buildings.
   The ministry established the makeshift levee by piling up sediment and reinforced it with a series of steel plates some 320 meters long.
   "While some water remains, flooding has mostly been eliminated" in affected areas thanks partly to drainage work, a ministry official said.
