Newly Built Bridge in Bihar Collapses After Four Days

A bridge connecting the town of Bhaktapur in Bihar to the railway line collapsed just four days after its grand opening. The overbridge, costing ₹26.45 crores, was inaugurated on May 2nd, 2023. However, on June 5th, the structure gave way, leaving the crucial connection between the town and the railway line severed. The collapse has caused significant disruption to local travel and commerce. Repairs are underway, but the project has been delayed, raising concerns about the safety and reliability of the newly constructed infrastructure.
