A bridge that was under construction on the Khammam-Devarapalli Greenfield National Highway collapsed on Thursday, January 18, in Somaram village of Wyra mandal.
According to reports, the concrete slab of the bridge on either side of the underpass was laid in the afternoon. In the evening, when the workers were about to finish their work for the day, the scaffolding and metal sheets supporting the slab collapsed.
Three workers sustained minor injuries and received treatment at a local hospital. The incident was attributed to defects in erecting the scaffolding.
