Surabaya-Bali route cut due to floods

SURABAYA: Floods and landslides hit Bondowoso regency in East
Java, which caused a bridge in Tenggarang subdistrict here to
collapse, cutting the road between Surabaya and Bali.

But, despite the collapse of the bridge, the travelers could
still pass on the streets, as they could still take alternative
routes.

The bridge collapsed as heavy rain pounded the area on
Wednesday night.

The collapsed bridge has caused severe traffic jams in
Tenggaran area and other nearby areas such as Bataan and Tamanan
subdistricts.

The authorities said that the bridge will be repaired
immediately. -- JP
