A bailey bridge in Gopalganj collapsed on Sunday morning, sending a ten-wheeled sand-laden truck into a canal and injuring four people. The incident occurred as the truck was crossing the Pachuria Bridge towards Ghonapara, a key route within the district town. The collapse has halted all vehicular movement on the main road, causing significant disruption and hardship for local residents. Authorities have not yet released details regarding the cause of the collapse, but investigations are underway. Rescue operations were immediately launched to recover the truck and provide medical assistance to the injured. The bridge’s failure is expected to cause considerable traffic congestion until repairs or a replacement is established. Local officials are working to establish alternative routes for commuters.
