The state PWD (NH-IX division) will start installing the Bailey bridge over the damaged bridge on the Balason river on the northwest-end of Siliguri from Monday.
“Three trucks loaded with the iron structures of the bailey bridge that was installed at Majherhat, reached here on Saturday. We expect the rest of the structures to arrive here by Sunday. As of now, the plan is to start the installation process from Monday,” said an official of the state PWD (NH-IX division).
Iron components of the temporary bridge started reaching here in trucks from Calcutta on Saturday.
These components are of Majerhat in Calcutta, where the Bailey bridge was installed when a flyover collapsed at the site in 2018.
