The Wau-Labu Road was open r traffic again on January 5, ter being closed for several weeks, le road was blocked by washaways bich undermined it at the Edie :eek junction. (See page 66, this me.) After the road was re-opened, immonwealth Works Department Bcials said they would investi te the possibility of the Edie •eek weakness being permanently rrected by detouring around the ction, if they cannot strengthen e section itself.

Any detour is likely to be a major ieration, however, as the road in is section is a narrow ledge run ng around the foot of a deep rge.
