MP: Committee to solve 90-degree bridge riddle in Bhopal
BHOPAL [Maha Media]: The Public Works Department (PWD) of Madhya Pradesh has formed a committee to suggest a solution after a newly constructed railway overbridge with a 90-degree turn became the subject of criticism and much ridicule.
The bridge near the Aishbagh stadium, built at Rs 18 crore, is yet to be inaugurated. Questions have been raised over its design after it was noticed that vehicles would find it difficult to negotiate its unusual 90-degree turn.
PWD minister Rakesh Singh on Thursday said a team of the National Highway Authority (NHAI), which investigated the matter, found that the strange design was adopted due to the unavailability of land.
