This inspection is part of a larger safety audit for a total of 51 bridges in the district. The initiative follows a serious bridge accident that occurred recently. Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel directed local authorities to ensure safety checks across the region.
Different teams have been formed to examine both small and large bridges, totaling 51. The goal is to complete the safety audit and submit a report to the government within a month. During the inspection, the collector noted that the bridge is in good condition and can handle traffic. The original bridge was built in 1998, and it was widened in 2018 when the road was upgraded to a four-lane highway.
