Three-Year-Old Rs 9 Crore Madhya Pradesh Bridge Still Lacks Access Road

The state government’s Rs 9 crore bridge, completed three years ago in Madhya Pradesh, has yet to receive a proper access road, leaving the structure underutilised. Local authorities acknowledge the delay but have not provided a timeline for the road’s construction. The absence of an approach road hampers traffic flow and limits the bridge’s intended benefits for nearby communities. Officials say that funding and land acquisition issues are the primary obstacles to completing the access route. The situation has drawn criticism from residents who expected the bridge to improve connectivity soon after its inauguration.
