Unfortunately, this a half-baked opinion without understanding core issues highlighted by residents in the area. Firstly, This is bridge is a key arterial road which connects to hospitals, schools and office goers. There are no feasible alternative provisions being made for regular commuters, residents, doctors. So called alternatives proposed are going to turn minutes into hours.
