Dilapidated bridge poses safety risk for residents

It must be wide enough to facilitate two-way traffic
A small bridge connecting Alwarthoppu with Bheema Nagar across Uyyakondan Canal lies in a dilapidated condition. With pedestrians, two-wheelers, auto-rickshaws and even mini trucks using it, the bad condition of the bridge poses a safety risk to the residents.
The Uyyakondan canal, which runs right through the heart of Tiruchi, originates from Cauvery river near Pettavaithalai. Said to be over 1,000 years old, it was dug by Raja Raja Cholan to irrigate agricultural lands. Later small bridges were constructed across the canal so that people and vehicles from one side of the canal can go to the other side.
