The bridge across the Godavari at Bhadrachalam, which completed 57 years on Wednesday, remained out of bounds for vehicular traffic since Thursday evening with the historic temple town, located on the banks of the Godavari, facing severe threat of flood.
The bridge is the vital road link connecting Bhadrachalam, the gateway to the vast tribal hinterland, with the district headquarters town of Kothagudem, the hub of coal production, and beyond.
