Partial Collapse of Karambar Minor Bridge Disrupts Traffic on SH-67
A portion of the minor arch bridge at Karambar on Mangaluru-Athradi State Highway 67 collapsed, disrupting traffic between Mangaluru and Bajpe. The bridge, built in 1963, had been weakened over time, and a reconstruction proposal sent by the Public Works Department a year ago was not approved. Temporary diversion work is underway to allow light vehicles, while heavy vehicles must use alternative routes. The government is expected to approve emergency reconstruction, aiming to complete it before the next monsoon.
