Long tailbacks were created as few hundred vehicles including busses, trucks and private cars got stranded on both sides of the ferry ghat on Barisal-Kuakata road following the collapse of the bridge, reports our correspondent in Patuakhali.
The bailey bridge collapsed around 4:00am when a electric pole-laden truck was about to get on it, said Kamolendu Mojumder, executive engineer of Pauakhali Roads and Highways Department.
“We are working on emergency basis to repair the bridge to resume the road communication”, he said.
People were requested to use alternative Patuakhali-Mirjaganj-Bakerganj road until the repair work was complete, he added.
