As many as 22 of the 49 cables of the Morbi bridge were found to be corroded and wires seemed to be already broken before the collapse, the preliminary report submitted by a Special Investigation Team revealed.
In the unfortunate Morbi suspension bridge collapse incident on October 22, 2022, 134 persons lost their lives after the century-old bridge fell into the Machchhu River of Morbi in Gujarat.
“22 of the 49 cables were corroded which indicates that those wires may already be broken before the incident. The remaining 27 wires recently broke,” the report said.
