BRIDGES

In the absence of the old records of bridge constructions it is not possible to mention the year of construction of all the bridges in the district. However an attempt has been made in the following statement to furnish the locational and constructional details of the major bridges [Bridges with a linear waterway of more than 100 feet.] in Amravati district. All the highways and most of the major roads are provided with bridges and causeways across rivers and nallas.
