People from more than 400 households in a subdistrict of Nakhon Si Thammarat province have to cross a bridge on foot or by using a motorcycle after it collapsed due to severe flooding.

 

 

To prevent accidents, the 4th Army Area troops and the Department of Rural Roads officials are speeding up maintenance and construction of the bypass in Krungching subdistrict, expecting to complete the work in three days.

 

 

The Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation said that 321,057 households in the provinces of Surat Thani, Krabi, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Phatthalung and Songkhla were still struggling with floods.

Should the bridge not be cordoned off and nobody allowed to cross?

There's a bridge in London (Hammersmith Bridge) in much better shape than this and not even bicycles or pedestrians are allowed to cross. The river pathway underneath is even closed.

Should, but you know where we are right?
