Bihar: Part of approach road to bridge damaged

CHHAPRA: A portion of the approach road to the Jai Prabha Setu, which connects Chhapra with Ballia in Uttar Pradesh (UP), caved in on Thursday night as a result of torrential rain.
In view of the damage, police are allowing only small four-wheelers on the bridge and have stopped the movement of heavy vehicles from both ends.
The bridge was inaugurated by the then chief minister of UP, Vir Bahadur Singh, in 2000.
According to the locals, rainwater got accumulated on the bridge, which is already in a dilapidated state.
The district magistrate of Saran, Nilesh Ramchandra Deore, told this reporter on Friday, “Engineers have started repairing the damaged portion of the approach road.
The movement of traffic is likely to resume by Saturday afternoon.
