The passage of cyclone Gamane has left traces in the Diana region, especially in the Ambilobe district. Road traffic is greatly affected by the bad weather in several places on National Road 6 connecting Ambanja to Ambilobe. Bridges and roads are damaged. RN6 is currently undergoing works to try to restore traffic as soon as possible at several interruption points. Permanent restoration works have already started last week. According to government forecasts, works on bridges, access roads to bridges, and road sections swept away by rain are prioritized and will be completed soon. Drivers in the region must use alternative routes to access the affected areas. Passengers must cross rivers using boats. As for the restoration of traffic on RN6, the chosen companies to carry out the restoration works are already working tirelessly. Some works have already been completed, but there are still others that require extensive work that takes time. Due to the eleven cuts between Ifasy Bridge and Mahavavy Bridge, transportation costs have increased, and the supply of daily goods and food for residents has also been interrupted. A part has already been rehabilitated to facilitate the circulation of taxi-bajaj and motorcycle taxis shuttling between these two places, about 30 kilometers apart. The gendarmerie in the Ambilobe company has also mobilized residents located along the road to do their utmost. According to reports, the repair of these two main bridges takes time due to the extent of the damage. Another bridge used in the southeast part of Madagascar will be dismantled to save the Ifasy Bridge, and the creation of a ford is also an option. The works have already begun by the Colas company. Machinery has already been sent to clear the traffic, which has already returned to normal at present.
