Bridges in Bartang valley

Country forums / Central Asia / Tajikistan

Hello,
A couple of days ago I wrote a question on the cycling forum about the Bartang valley. Unfortunately I got no answer so I think I should try this forum instead.

What I would like to know is the status of the bridges in the lower part of the Bartang valley in Pamir. I am going to cycle there in about a week from now and last year some of the bridges were swept away by big floods and I have heard rumours about not all of them being rebuilt yet.

Is there anybody who has been to the Pamir on bicycle, motorcycle or with a car who can tell me if the bridges are rebuilt and it is possible to pass through up to the villages in the inner part of the valley?

Thanks in advance!
