Damaged Fishing Boat

   The fishing boat that it is claimed was damaged by debris when the Lance Mitan suspension bridge collapsed. The upper sides of the front deck were dented by the impact and the fibre-glass coating splintered.
   The fisherman is seen beginning his repairs.

The Other Damaged Moruga Flat Bridge

   The Flat Bridge, just East of Moruga over a small un-named river, has blocked the connection of the coastal Lune Road through Moruga to the Lance Mitan suspension bridge area ever since it was ‘river damaged’ - ‘some years ago’. This bridge would again be under the jurisdiction of the Princes Town Regional Corporation who have been unable to repair it. (See Map)
