The repair of the Omkareshwar suspension bridge, closed since Wednesday after a suspension hook broke, has been further delayed by rain. NHDC has reportedly completed most of the work by installing a new hook.
Repair work on the suspension bridge connecting Omkareshwar and Mamleshwar has faced further delays due to ongoing rainfall, impacting progress on the second day of its closure. The bridge was shut down on Wednesday after a critical suspension hook reportedly broke.
The National Hydroelectric Power Corporation (NHDC), responsible for the bridge's maintenance, has been actively engaged in the repair process. According to available information, the installation of a new suspension hook is nearing completion, suggesting that the essential structural repair is largely finished.
While the primary repair task appears to be almost complete, the persistent rain has hampered the final stages and the overall timeline for reopening the vital link between the two significant locations. Further updates on when the bridge will resume operations are awaited.
