Travel and connectivity between Siliguri and Mirik have been restored after the completion of a temporary footbridge in Dudhiya. The 34-meter-long bridge was quickly built to help people move across the area again.
This step became necessary after heavy rains on Saturday night caused the Balasun River to overflow. The rising water submerged a temporary Hume pipe bridge, which completely cut off the road link and left commuters stranded.
With the new temporary bridge now ready, locals and travelers can once again cross the river safely. This provides immediate relief to those who rely on this route for their daily travel and essential services.
Authorities acted fast to ensure that the disruption to the Siliguri-Mirik route was minimized, restoring a vital link for the region.
Key takeaway: A new temporary bridge in Dudhiya restores the vital road link between Siliguri and Mirik after river flooding.
