Paukkhaung, 7 September
The Nyaungwun Bridge which was destroyed by the torrential downpours and flash flood was reconstructed. As the construction was completed, the traffic reopened starting from 6 September.
The bridge on Pyay-Paukkhaung-Ottwin which is 190 ft in length was wiped out by the torrential rains on 31 August. Therefore, transportation was temporarily suspended and the Department of Road Management and the Department of Bridges constructed a new bridge to replace the old one starting on 2 September. The new bridge which is 210 ft in length can bear 20-ton loads.
