Indian Army Restores Traffic on Jammu Tawi Bridge With 12-Hour Bailey Span

Flooding on August 26 severed the eastern approach to a crossing used daily by thousands.

Overview

  • Engineers from the Tiger Division installed a 110-foot Bailey bridge to reconnect the flood-hit span.
  • Vehicular movement on the Tawi bridge was restored by evening, an army officer said via PTI.
  • The team completed the operation in 12 hours despite washed-out approaches and a tight work area.
  • Heavy rain had damaged the road near the fourth Tawi bridge on August 26, stranding vehicles on the broken stretch.
  • The same spot was reported damaged during the 2024 floods and was repaired afterward.
