Earthquake damages two major bridges linking Tagbilaran to coastal towns

Traveling around Bohol will be very inconvenient for Boholanos as two major bridges cut off access to coastal towns from Tagbilaran City. The Abatan Bridge in Maribojoc is totally unusable as sections of the bridge fell off to the Abatan river.

The bridge in Loay, Bohol is also damaged and is not passable by vehicles.

Maribojoc sustained a lot of building damage including the St. Vincent Ferrer parish which is in ruins. There was also a landslide in one of the hills in Maribojoc.
