Video: Rs 13 Crore Bridge In Bihar Collapses In River Before Inauguration

The 206-metre-long bridge had developed cracks over the past few days, say locals.

A five-year-old bridge in Bihar snapped into two and fell into a river on Sunday. No one was injured as the bridge had yet to be formally opened to the public due to the lack of an access road.

The bridge was built over the river Burhi Gandak in Begusarai district at a cost of Rs 13 crore. 

The 206-metre-long bridge had developed cracks over the past few days, say local people. The portion between pillars 2 and 3 crashed.

Nobody was on the bridge at the time of the incident, the administration said today.
