3. Road Status, Northern Laotian Panhandle
Heavy usage of the entire Communist-controlled road network in the
northern Laotian Panhandle between Mu Gia Pass and Ban Bac is photo-confirmed
(see adjacent map). Route 914 between the junctions with Routes 9 and 92,
and Route 92 between 16-18N 106-35E and 16-11N 106-41E are both serviceable
and active. Route 922, in addition to being active, has been extended (see
Item 4+). Other developments throughout the network are: an additional
ford has been opened on a Route 23 by-pass across the Se Bang Fai (river)
in the Ban Pak Phanang area (Figure 6); Route 912 remains serviceable on
a day-by-day basis (the interdictions on Figure 7 had been repaired
Route 239 has been opened between Routes 911 and 23 (Figures
8 and 9) and could provide an alternate southern route.
