Travel Advisory: Mahandri Bridge Collapse Blocks Traffic

Heavy rain created a landslide, resulting in the collapse of the Mahandri Bridge. The traffic comes to a halt between Balakot and the connecting route to Kaghan Naran.

Commuters are trapped, while tourists have been advised to avoid the area for the next five days. Repairing will take between five and six days.

Kalam is also cut off because the major road has washed away. Travelers should seek alternative routes or postpone their trips. As crews attempt to repair the roadways, safety is the number one priority.

Heavy rain has also triggered landslides on the Murree Road. People should avoid going there for a few days. The weather is unsuitable for touring purposes.

The authorities are working diligently to repair the roadways.

UPDATE: Attention travelers to Naran/Kaghan!
Due to monsoon rains, main bridge at Mahandri on Kaghan Valley highway washes away, & traffic has been blocked from both sides. Tourists are advised to avoid traveling to Naran/Kaghan.
