On record
Three portions of the roughly 40-year-old Kali River bridge on the Karnataka–Goa national highway collapsed simultaneously around 1am on August 7, 2024, sending a loaded lorry into the river and disrupting a key interstate route.
The official record states: "Not specified beyond the bridge's old age."
