Nagpur. The condition of the Panchpavli Bridge connecting North and East Nagpur has become very dilapidated. Citizens are afraid that it might collapse. Actually the condition of the bridge has become really bad and the concerned department is not paying attention. The girder joints of this bridge going from Kamal Chowk to Golibar Chowk have been uprooted so much that there are holes. The road below the bridge above is visible across. Neither its improvement work is being done nor is a new bridge being built.
Citizens told that the age of the bridge is over. The demand to build a new bridge has been made many times but nothing has happened so far. There is heavy pressure of vehicles on this bridge for 24 hours. The condition is so bad that he is working as a breaker due to the uprooting of the girder joint of the bridge. If the slightest carelessness is taken then the driver can get into an accident. Many new overbridges have been completed in the city but attention is not being paid to this old bridge. It seems that sometime a big accident will happen only then the administration will wake up.
If you miss the sight, then the accident is fixed
There are total 33 girders in this bridge. The condition has become such that the joints of 10 girders have opened in them. The joint is visible through tearing. It is surprising that they are not even repaired. Not only this, the asphaltization in the middle of the bridge has also been completely blown up. Pits have formed. Drivers, especially two wheelers, have to be very careful. If the sight is missed, then the accident is certain. The bridge has become very weak and needs to be replaced by another.
did not even asphalt
There is a train of vehicles on the bridge 24 hours a day. Due to being a market area, citizens and traders traveling from North to East towards Nagpur use this bridge. A junction has been made on this bridge to land on the side of Bhankheda from the middle. The joint is completely uprooted at this junction point. It has become like a drain. Same is the case with every joint. Meaning, 33 speed breakers in this 33 girder bridge have been made due to material uprooting. There are separate potholes which remain a danger to the drivers. Unfortunately, the concerned department has not even done the asphaltization and repairs to fill the joint.
