Arafin Bridge

Hundreds still stranded at washed away bridge

Yesterday and today have been chaotic for commuters traveling on the road that links the Highlands Highway into Lae.

And with the Morobe show in Lae this weekend (Oct 15-16), many travelling into the city with goods to sell at the show are hoping to make it in time.

Over 20000 commuters have been at the washed away two-lane bridge since early yesterday morning.

Leo Wafiwa, a former lecturer and strand leader of the UPNG journalism strand, was one of those who spent the night on the Highlands Highway side of the road.
