Foundation work of two Tallah pillars will be completed by April

The foundation work of the two remaining pillars that are coming up on railway land for the proposed Tallah bridge would be completed by April, the state government has decided.

Engineers said completing the foundation work on the eight pillars, including these two, by April would mean inching closer towards the target of finishing the construction of the bridge by 2022.

The railway has agreed to block traffic from midnight till 5am for the entire month of April so that the foundation work of the two pillars can be completed. Machinery and men have also moved in so that the work can be wrapped up by April.
