@ibexmedianetwork: The Gilgit–Skardu Road remains closed after recent flash floods and landslides severely damaged the route. The main reason for the closure is that floodwaters washed away the Bridge, cutting the only direct road link between Gilgit and Baltistan. Landslides and debris at multiple locations have further delayed the restoration process. The authorities are working to install a temporary bridge, clear debris, and restore the damaged sections of the road. Until the bridge is replaced and the route is declared safe, traffic between Gilgit and Skardu will remain suspended. The Gilgit–Skardu Road is the primary land connection for Baltistan, making it a vital route for residents, tourists, emergency services, and the transport of essential supplies. Authorities have advised travelers to avoid the route until an official reopening is announced. #IbexMediaNetwork #GilgitBaltistan #Gilgit #Skardu #GilgitBaltistanFloods
