Mangaluru: Due to heavy rains on Tuesday June 15, the Maravoor bridge, which connects to the Mangaluru International Airport, developed a crack.
According to reports, the crack is so deep and wide that the bridge has been rendered weak. The vehicular movement on the bridge has been suspended for the public’s safety.
Two alternate routes are being used to reroute traffic. Those coming from Kavoor can take the Kavoor-Kulur-KBS Jokatte-Porkody-Bajpe route or the Pacchanady-Vamanjoor-Gurpur-Kaikamba-Bajpe route to the other side of the bridge.
