Risky bridge

Published August 24, 2019

THE overhead bridge on the National Highway-Quaidabad Road leading towards Sharea Faisal is in a deplorable state. There are wide cracks at the joints holding the pylons. Whenever a vehicle passes over these cracks they emanate an eerie sound which makes ones skin crawl.

The concerned authorities are requested to undertake immediate repairs as delay in the matter can lead to disaster.
