^^ Beijing Drainage Group blamed earlier planners of the capital's drainage system:

At some junctions, the roads are designed to go down one level while the overpass above is just at ground level. Why don't they design the overpass like a bridge that goes above ground level?

RIP to victims, the government reported 37 dead, lol who actually believes? I wouldnt even be surprised if it was 3700 dead.

They designed it this way to avoid many of the bridges spoiling nice structures around them. But that caused serious drainage problem on heavy rains.
