Cable stayed bridge closed for traffic in Bhavnagar

By our correspondent, Bhavnagar, 12 February 2013

Now this you can consider a blow to Modi, or at least to Anandiben – Modi’s R&B minister.

A cable stayed bridge connecting Ahmedabad and Bhavnagar, just outside the Bhavnagar city has been closed for traffic due to cracks developed in this bridge.

This bridge was opened last year in the month of August only by Chief Minister Modi himself. It was constructed at a cost of Rs 29 crore. Today morning, due to problem with ball bearings, some cracks were developed in the bridge. Senior Road and building officials are on the spot to look into the matter.
