Bridge without approach
Bridge without approach road lying unused for 22 yrs
A bridge constructed over a canal at Bhukshimoil union in Kulaura upazila has been lying unused for long 22 years as there is no approach road on both sides of it.
Local people said the 10-metre long bridge was constructed in 1997 under the Bridge and Culvert Project of Local Government and Engineering Department (LGED) spending Tk 5 lakh.
One-km earthen roads were also built under the project. But the earthen roads were washed away by frequent floods, turning the bridge a useless one and causing sufferings to several thousand residents of the haor areas.
The local administration has not yet taken any initiative to build approach roads on both sides of the bridge, alleged locals.
