Two accidents in as many days along the road outside Muse have left the highway blocked for more than three days, bottlenecking the main border trade point between China and Burma, according to sources near the border.
Vehicle traffic has all but ground to a halt and drivers have been forced to sleep on the road, with only a trickle of four-wheel traffic and some motorcycles able to pass through.
“I have been here [in Muse] three nights already, and still cannot go back to Yangon [Rangoon] as there are no buses traveling,” a frequent traveler to Muse told The Irrawaddy on Friday.
The road has been blocked since Tuesday, when the first of the two traffic accidents took place, according to the source, who said he had to sleep two nights on the road to get to Muse from Rangoon. (Courtesy of Irrawaddy)
