COMMUNICATION

BRIDGES

Bridges are a sine qua non for a good system of transport and communications. As a number of rivers and rivulets criss-cross the district, construction of bridges is imperative. The authorities responsible for maintenance of roads have constructed some bridges at important river crossings. The location and structural details of all the major bridges and causeways in the district are given in the following tables:—
