The new Godavari bridge in Bhadrachalam will remain closed from October 31 to November 7 for mandatory load testing, as announced by state authorities.
State officials have confirmed that the newly constructed Godavari bridge in Bhadrachalam will be shut down for a week to conduct load‑testing procedures. The closure is scheduled to begin on October 31 and will resume on November 8. The testing aims to ensure the bridge’s structural integrity and safety before it opens to public traffic.
The bridge, part of a major infrastructure project in Telangana, was inaugurated earlier this year. Authorities have urged commuters to use alternate routes during the testing period. Traffic management plans are being coordinated with local transport authorities to minimize disruptions.
Officials emphasized that the temporary closure is a routine safety measure and will not affect the overall project timeline. They assured the public that the bridge will be reopened once testing confirms it can safely handle expected traffic loads.
