Kendrapada Under-Construction Bridge Collapse — photo 1

On record

A portion of an under-construction bridge over the Gobari river collapsed on March 15, 2023, breaking into four pieces roughly two years into construction by contractor ARSS Infrastructure Projects. No casualties were reported, though workers had a narrow escape, and officials reportedly took hours to reach the site.

The official record states: "No official cause was announced; local residents alleged substandard construction materials and inadequate departmental monitoring were responsible."

“Two years into construction it broke into four pieces over the Gobari, which is not how bridges are meant to span.”— Blunderlust Editorial Desk

BA B. Agarwal · Kendrapada★★★★★
“No cause has been announced, so the villagers' theory about the materials is the only one on offer.”
