Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary inspected the Vikramshila Setu in Bhagalpur and announced that free transportation will be provided for commuters until the bridge is fully operational on November 30. This decision follows the recent collapse of a slab that halted traffic on the bridge, which is a vital connection between the Purvanchal and Seemanchal regions. Currently, three Bailey bridges are being constructed to restore connectivity, with one bridge already completed and another in the final stages of decking. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) is working diligently to ensure that the bridges are operational as soon as possible to ease the difficulties faced by commuters. The bridge's closure since May 3 has caused significant disruptions, and the government is focused on expediting the reopening process.
