The Road cum Rail bridge between Kovvur – Rajamahendravaram in East Godavari district will be closed for repairs from 27th to 26th October. The repairs will include fixing the central carriageway, viaduct portion, and damaged secondary joints. The R&B officials requested the diversion of traffic for these urgent repairs.
The restoration work will cover a 4.5 km long Black Top Road, including the viaduct portion and approaches.
