With the Musi river in spate, several bridges across the river have been overflowing causing massive traffic jams at Malakpet, Chaderghat, Putlibowli and other areas in the city.
The Moosarambagh bridge is overflowing over three feet in height, and the swollen waters have inundated both sides of the riverbank making civic life difficult.
Officegoers from L.B. Nagar, Saroornagar, Chaitanyapuri, Dilsuknagar, Malakpet, Chaderghat, Amberpet and Kachiguda areas were taken by surprise as main roads turned into water canals, and they were forced to wade under the most trying circumstances. The Hyderabad Traffic Police on Tuesday night barricaded the Moosarambagh bridge after high water flow into the river. The bridge is likely to be closed till Thursday.
