On Sunday morning, a bridge along the federal highway between Bauchi and Gome was shut off, leaving motorists stuck.
According to the Daily Trust, this is the nth time in recent years that a bridge or section of road has been washed away during a downpour.
A road bridge that was being repaired last year collapsed three times.
According to our correspondent, the current fall took place following a downpour that lasted for a number of hours between Saturday night and Sunday morning.
Through Bauchi state, the impacted route connects commuters from other regions of the nation to the North Eastern states of Gombe, Adamawa, Taraba, and portions of Borno.
Currently, traffic on the axis has been rerouted along the Bauchi-Darazo-Dukku-Gombe road, adding roughly 78 kilometers to the distance between Bauchi and Gombe.
