Vehicular movement resumed on the vital bridge across the Penganga river on National Highway 44 at Dollara in Adilabad district’s Jainad mandal on Sunday morning, after remaining suspended for nearly 12 hours as the floodwaters almost touched the 50-foot-high bridge on Saturday night.
Traffic movement was suspended on the bridge near the inter-State border with Maharashtra late on Saturday night as a precautionary measure following sharp surge in the water level of the Penganga under the bridge.
Scores of vehicles were stranded on both sides of the bridge for hours, causing severe hardships to commuters. Traffic was allowed around 10 am on Sunday after the floodwaters in the river slightly receded below the bridge, sources added.
