11 mile bridge fix

Industry commends Works Department for prompt response

The Department moved swiftly to erect a temporary crossing when the Arafin Bridge was washed away due to heavy rains last Saturday.

“Excellent work by the Department of Works in Morobe Province,” said Alan McLay, LCCI president.

“This (the bridge) will take a load of 44 ton. As it is only single lane, drivers are to approach it with caution.

“Give way signs will be erected so please take note and follow accordingly.”        

The temporary bridge was opened for public use midday yesterday.
