N.Hway traffic back to normal; more repairs to come

Traffic was back to normal on the Northern Highway this morning after three days of delays caused by a collapsed river embankment. According to the Ministry of Works, crews completed the repairs between mile six and seven on Saturday evening, installing reinforced sheet piles to strengthen the road. Engineers have noted that other sections of the highway will also have to be repaired. A thorough assessment of the airport road is currently being conducted to determine what needs to be done and where. Those repairs, however, will most likely be done on Sundays to minimise the inconvenience to both the crews and residents.
