Another Bridge Between Hungary, Slovakia Closed Due to Floods
Another bridge spanning the Ipoly river, which flows along the border between Slovakia and Hungary, has been closed due to rising water levels, local police said in a statement.

The bridge between Dregelypalank (Hungary) and Ipelske Predmostie (Ipolyhidveg, Slovakia) is the second bridge in the area to be closed after the rising Ipoly made the bridge between Orhalom and Vrbovka (Ipolyvarbo) unsurpassable two days ago.

Drivers can cross into Slovakia at Balassagyarmat and Parassapuszta.
