Information

Concrete causeway across the river is usually high and dry but big floods from Jan to April 2009 submerged the crossing. Goes under about 3 years in 5 early in the year but by the time tourist season begins in June the waters have receded.
Closed to traffic prior to 2018. Large holes in pipes and danger of collapse.
