Pottepalem Bridge Foundation Laid in Nellore
A new bridge called the Pottepalem Bridge is being built in Nellore, India.
People have been waiting for this bridge for about 25-30 years.
The foundation was recently laid, and it is expected to be finished in 18 months.
The bridge will help many people travel more easily and safely.
It will also help people going to a temple called Jonnawada Temple.
The bridge is being built with ₹9 crore, even though the state has money problems.
Another bridge, the Mulumudi Kaluva Bridge, will also be started soon.
Many important people from different political parties came together to support this project, which is a big deal because they usually don't agree on things.
