A | Ottawa, Oct 20 (UNI) Hurricane Fiona is estimated to have caused 660 million Canadian dollars (about 528 million US dollars) in insured damage in Canada, the Insurance Bureau of Canada said.
Fiona is the most costly extreme weather event ever recorded in Atlantic Canada, and the tenth largest in the country in terms of insured damages, the bureau said in a press release, quoting the "record-breaking" initial estimates from Catastrophe Indices and Quantification Inc.
Many affected residents were located in high-risk flood areas and floodplains where residential flood insurance coverage is not available. As a result, the overwhelming majority of costs for this disaster will be borne by government, according to the release.
"As we begin to see the extent of damages caused by Hurricane Fiona, it is clear that much more needs to be done to enhance our resilience to extreme weather events and build a culture of preparedness moving forward," said Amanda Dean, vice-president, Atlantic, Insurance Bureau of Canada.
The long-lived and powerful storm first made landfall in Atlantic Canada on Saturday, September 24. With maximum wind gusts exceeding 100 km/h in Atlantic Canada and Eastern Quebec, Fiona resulted in tragic loss of life as well as violent winds, torrential rainfall, large waves, storm surge, downed trees and widespread power outages, the release said.
Insurance claims from severe weather have more than quadrupled across Canada since 2008. The new normal for insured catastrophic damages in the country has reached 2 billion Canadian dollars (about 1.6 billion US dollars) annually.

B | 隧道内，数百工人正进行开挖作业。这条连接梅溪湖地区和含浦地区（下面简称梅浦联络线）的南北向主干道建成后，相比绕行西二环或麓景路隧道，附近居民前往含浦地区的路程将缩短一半，最快仅需5分钟。■文/视频 三湘都市报全媒体记者 周可 通讯员 田尧江 方嘉玮 胡冰倩南段3.71公里道路，隧道占比近70%梅浦联络线是湖南湘江新区连接梅溪湖和含浦的南北向“大动脉”，项目北起梅溪湖路西延线，止于含浦片区象嘴路，全长4.45公里。其中梅浦联络线北段(梅溪湖西延线-学湖路)已于2021年完成建设。
C | 目前正在建设的梅浦联络线南段设计为双向6车道，北接已建成的梅浦联络线北段，向南延伸与梅江路相交，设置隧道穿越桃花岭景区及白鹤天池山体，以及香格里大道和云栖路，与含浦片区的象嘴路顺接。
D | 项目由湘江集团湘新投公司投资建设，由中铁五局和中建五局分两个标段进行施工。正在建设的梅浦联络线南段与北段不同的是，在全长约3.71公里的道路中，隧道占比近70%，分别是马鞍山隧道及白鹤天池隧道。综合考虑外部环境、地质条件等因素，两座隧道均采用爆破开挖工艺单边掘进施工，在开挖过程中严格实行隧道标准化施工理念，坚持24小时跟班作业湘江新区将再添一条南北向主干道截至目前，2座隧道全线共有7个作业面同步推进施工，400多名工人奋战一线，已累计掘进约760米，其中马鞍山隧道累计掘进约310米，白鹤天池隧道累计掘进约450米。此外，梅江路跨线桥桩基完成20根，象嘴路南端综合管线迁改一期已完成。自开工以来，项目克服地质条件差、用地限制等不利因素影响，截至目前共完成产值约3亿元。预计2025年建成通车。湘江集团湘新投公司项目现场负责人李威介绍，梅浦联络线全线建成通车后，也意味着湖南湘江新区继麓景路南延线工程后，再添一条南北向交通主干道，可有效缓解西二环通行压力。返回搜狐，查看更多责任编辑：
