Restoration of Old Kundu Bridge Begins in Nandyal
The old bridge over the Kundu River in Nandyal is getting old and shaky.
So, officials have started fixing it up so cars and smaller vehicles can still use it.
They are putting down a new road surface and adding railings to make it stronger.
This is a temporary fix because a brand new bridge is planned.
They need to buy land and get everything ready for the new one, which will take time.
For now, only small vehicles like cars and tractors can use the old bridge, while bigger trucks will use a different way.
Everyone is asked to be careful and follow the rules until the new bridge is built.
Restoration work on the old Kundu River bridge in Nandyal has commenced due to its deteriorated condition.
Temporary strengthening measures include laying a bituminous surface and installing iron railings.
Only light vehicles such as school buses, ambulances, cars, two-wheelers, and tractors are permitted on the old bridge.
Heavy vehicles are being diverted to alternate routes.
Funds and land acquisition for a new Kundu River bridge have been approved, with construction to follow.
