In rural Odisha, villagers depend on a bamboo bridge to cross a local waterway, making it a vital link for daily travel.
A bamboo bridge in a remote part of Odisha serves as the main crossing for several nearby villages, allowing residents to reach markets, schools and health centres on a daily basis.
The bridge, constructed from locally sourced bamboo, spans a shallow river that otherwise would block the only road connecting the villages to the nearest town.
Village elders say the structure has been in use for years, and its simple design makes it easy for locals to repair and maintain.
Local authorities have noted the bridge’s importance and are exploring ways to reinforce it to ensure safety during the rainy season.
