    CHANGDU, Tibet, March 11 (Xinhua) -- Traffic on a highway linking Tibet with the neighboring province of Sichuan resumed Wednesday afternoon, one day after it was suspended by a mountain collapse, local authorities said.

    The road reopened at 1:30 p.m. after a huge boulder and about 12,000 cubic meters of debris, which were blocking the No. 318 Highway, were removed, said an armed police officer directing the repair work. He said 30 soldiers participated in the operation.
