The bridge over the Massacre River at the frontier town of Dajabon was damaged when two huge, century-old trees fell on it during the recent "tornado." Photos in El Caribe continue to show a desolate landscape around the bridge, but repairs have started under the direction of Pedro Brito, a vice minister at the Ministry of Public Works. Since vehicular traffic has been stopped from using the bridge, traders from Haiti who now have to carry their wares and cross on foot, still continue to stream into the city during market days, every Monday and Friday. According to the report from the Public Works officials, the repairs should be completed in a few days, and normal traffic across the bridge can resume. Public health officials have also announced a fumigation program along both sides of the border to combat a possible dengue outbreak.
