(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Special Australian Correspondent.) (Rec. 11.30 a.m.) SYDNEY, Oct. 4. ' The.Wairopi Bridge (Anglicised as "wire rope" bridge) is 200 feet long but only 10 feet wideband thus presents a difficult target. However,; weekend raids have rendered the bridge useless for the passage of sun-. plies, and the structure will probably need to be rebuilt.
Two auxiliary bridges across the river at Wairopi have also been destroyed by Allied aircraft.
