BRO Rebuilds 200‑Foot Bailey Bridge in Arunachal’s Remote Village
A big bridge was washed away by floods in a remote village called Huri in Arunachal Pradesh.
The Border Roads Organisation, a government group that builds roads, quickly built a new 200‑foot Bailey bridge.
They worked through heavy rain, fast rivers, and landslides.
The new bridge lets people, trucks, and emergency services travel again.
It is very important because the village is close to the border with China, so good roads help both civilians and the military.
BRO built a 200‑foot Bailey bridge in Huri after the original was washed away by July 11 flash floods.
The flood cut off the village, stopping movement of people, goods, and emergency services.
Project Arunank of the BRO, with teams from the 85 Road Construction Company under the 756 Border Roads Task Force, carried out the work.
Workers faced heavy rain, fast‑flowing river currents, unstable soil, landslides, and difficult terrain, yet finished quickly.
The new bridge restores vital connectivity for civilians and strategic border operations near the Line of Actual Control.
