Traffic Resumes on Pandameru Bridge After Repairs
The old bridge in Anantapur, India, is opening back up!
It was closed for eight months because a flood damaged it.
Engineers fixed the bridge by repairing the parts that hold it up.
They got the money and the go-ahead to start the project in March.
The repairs were done quickly, in just three months, by a company from Mumbai, and the local leader was checking on the work.
This was all done to make sure that people could safely travel across the bridge again, even though it caused problems while it was being fixed.

The bridge was closed for eight months due to flood damage from October.
Repairs were completed in three months by Tech Fast Rebuild Pvt. Ltd.
