Repair work becomes a problem, vehicles crawling

The suspension joint (joint of bridge and road) of New Gammon Bridge was in a dilapidated condition for a long time. Repair work was started on a war footing from Friday, after which the New Gammon bridge was completely closed for traffic. Now the entire traffic load has come to the old Gammon bridge. The situation has gone out of control due to sudden increase in the pressure of vehicles on the same bridge. Trucks, buses and other heavy vehicles are moving slower than a turtle's speed.

There is a lot of anger among the local villagers and passers-by regarding this problem. People say that the suspension joint has broken at this same place many times before. Every time a repair is made in the name of repair, due to which the same joint gets dislocated again after some time. This recurring problem is not only causing wastage of time, but it is also badly affecting the economic transport of the area. Due to repeated occurrence of faults at the same place, questions are being raised on the quality of repairs and permanent solutions.
