The condition of Likhru bridge located between Chakumei and Makhan Tabio has been raising eyebrows from all corners.
Locals have repeatedly expressed their concern over the poor condition of the said bridge which has been left dilapidated and dangerous to travelers.
Due to tight curves on both sides of the bridge and smaller lane, accidents have been taking place frequently in the area.
The bridge capability to hold the weight of heavy trucks carrying excess tons is questionable.
Over the years, people of the area have been urging the concerned authority to construct a bigger bridge at a suitable location to avoid more accidents and traffic inconveniences.
