Traffic from Srirangam to Thiruvanaikovil on the overbridge on Gandhi Road was diverted on Friday as a portion of the road caved in due to a sewage pipeline burst
Traffic from Srirangam to Thiruvanaikovil on the overbridge on Gandhi Road was diverted on Friday as a portion of the road caved in due to a sewage pipeline burst. A similar incident had occurred earlier this month in Srirangam.
“The sewage pipe is over 20 years old and some portions of it have become corroded over time. Pent-up gas escaped through the hollow sections and caused the pipeline to burst. We are working to set right the issue and will be replacing the 10-metre stretch of the damaged pipe,” a senior Tiruchi City Corporation engineer told The Hindu.
The civic work forced many commuters to take detour. Vehicles going to Srirangam were diverted via the Amma Mandapam and Yatri Nivas routes.
Residents were concerned over the possibility of sewage water getting mixed with drinking water supply lines due to the frequent pipe damages.
