Warabung Bridge washed off 2017

Heavy downpour isolates Morobe districts

Continuous rain has swept away a section of the Warabung Bridge at the border of Huon Gulf and Bulolo districts.

The gap was 4 metres apart and 5 metres deep. However, another heavy downpour on Sunday night widened the opening to 8 metres.

Morobe Governor Kasiga Kelly Naru visited the scene on Monday and appealed to the people not to demand unnecessarily from authorities.

He also said these roads are national roads and they should not capitalise on the situation by extorting money from travelers.
