A newly constructed bridge in Madhya Pradesh, costing Rs. 8.86 crore, is unusable due to the absence of approach roads.
A bridge costing Rs. 8.86 crore has been completed in Madhya Pradesh, but its lack of access roads renders it unusable. The bridge, while structurally sound, stands isolated without any connecting roads to lead traffic to it. This situation has raised concerns about the planning and execution of the project, as the bridge's purpose is effectively nullified without proper access points. Local residents and officials are now calling for immediate action to construct the necessary approach roads, enabling the bridge to serve its intended purpose.
