BRIDGES
Bridges are a sine-qua-non for a good system of transport and communications. There are six major rivers in the district. These rivers flow in a zig-zag fashion and thus require more than one bridge over each of them at many places. There are some major bridges constructed over these rivers. There is also a programme of construction of new bridges. The construction of minor bridges and culverts on important roads has almost been completed except at a few places where the work is in progress.
The table No. 4 furnishes the locational and constructional details of the major bridges in Bhandara district.
