Only one highway open to Wenchuan county

Constant aftershocks and landslides had left only one highway open to Wenchuan as of yesterday, the Ministry of Transport said.

Two damaged highways leading to Wenchuan were reopened over the weekend, while a third from the north was under repair, it said.

However, ministry spokesman He Jianzhong said that a landslide had blocked a 44-km section of the highway between Wenchuan and Dujiangyan.
