On record
A replacement bridge built to replace one destroyed by the October 2023 glacial lake outburst flood was itself washed away on February 20, 2024, about a week before planned completion, injuring three workers.
The official record states: "District Collector said "despite the construction of strong pillars...it appears that the entire bridge was washed away by the flood," implying the rebuild underestimated ongoing flood risk."
“Built to replace a bridge the river took, then taken by the river a week before it was finished.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

“Built to replace a bridge the Teesta took in 2023, and taken by the Teesta itself a week before completion.”
“The collector notes that strong pillars were built and the whole bridge went anyway. The river had an opinion about the location.”
“Three workers hurt, one crossing still missing, and the same flood risk sitting there waiting for attempt number three.”
