Wall of Trichy-Thanjavur NH underpass collapses
TRICHY: A portion of the reinforced earth wall of a vehicular underpass of the Trichy-Thanjavur National Highway collapsed on Tuesday. Nobody was injured.
The underpass at Sengipatti has been closed by the NHAI and Thanjavur district police. Vehicles were diverted through the service roads on either side of the underpass.
The underpass helps vehicles bypass the congested Sengipatti village.
Officials said that the reinforced earth wall shields the vehicular underpass from atmospheric impact.
On Tuesday morning, a portion of the wall abutting the Thanjavur-Trichy service road collapsed. Around eight panels attached to the wall fell one after another.
