BRIDGES.
Many roads in this largest district of Maharashtra are rendered useless during the monsoons and the following two months due to lack of a number of major and minor bridges across the rivers and nallas.
In view of the limited resources at disposal, higher priority was
given to provision of major bridges and cross drainage works in
the three Five-Year Plans. The following statement shows the achievement in this behalf:-
