Despite reported flood construction halt, work continues on Ryomyong Street

Construction notable given flood aid re-deployment announcements

Construction is continuing on Pyongyang's Ryomyong Street, despite a state media announcement in September that workers there would be re-dispatched to focus on flood recovery efforts in the country's northeast.

Photos taken of the Tower of Immortality in early October show a major refurbishment of the landmark taking place, with numerous soldier-workers clearly visible working on nearby apartment buildings.
