Border Roads Organisation, BRO has constructed a 180-feet bailey bridge in Jauljibi sector of Pithoragarh district, Uttarakhand. The bridge was built in less than three weeks despite frequent landslides and heavy rains.<br />''<br />''The 50-metre span concrete bridge was completely washed out on July 27th &nbsp;when cloudburst hit the area and the nallas and rivers were flooded. This caused a mud flow of tremendous force. There were many casualties also due to landslides and the road communication was broken. &nbsp;<br />''<br />''The BRO mobilised its bridging resources and setup to construct the bridge.<br />''<br />''AIR correspondent reports, The biggest challenge was to transport parts to the site from Pithoragarh amidst frequent landslides and heavy rains. The bridge was successfully completed yesterday. This has led to accessing flood affected villages and has connected Jauljibi to Munsiyari. The connectivity will bring relief to about 15,000 people in 20 villages.&nbsp;<br />
