Jharkhand's Longest Bridge Completed on Mayurakshi River in Dumka

Why in News?

According to information received from the media on 26 April 2023, Jharkhand's longest bridge over the Mayurakshi River in Dumka has been completed. An amount of more than 198 crores has been spent on the construction of this 2340-meter-long bridge.

Key Points

• This bridge connects Kumdabad of Dumka Sadar block to Makrampur of Masalia with Singri-Harko road.
• With the construction of this high-level bridge, a large population of the district has come 14-15 kilometers closer to Dumka city. Before the construction of the bridge, the distance from Makrampur to Dumka district headquarters was more than 30 kilometers.
• The width of this bridge is 16 meters with a length of 2.800 km including the approach road. However, the bridge has been widened to 30 meters between the seven spans in the middle, which will also prove to be from the selfie point to the parking zone.
• It is known that there are many villages including Makrampur, which were earlier adjacent to Dumka City. After the Massanjore Dam was built, the middle area got submerged, so half of Makrampur's population was left on the other side of the submergence area of the dam. Now with the construction of the bridge, such Masanjor displaced people will not have any problem in commuting. If youth will be able to travel to and from college, then business-livelihood-employment will also prosper.
