Bridge approach roads
Media reports frequently point out collapse of the approach roads to the bridges (especially small bridges). What is the solution?
One way to solve the problem between the bridge contractor and the road contactor is to include the approach road in the bridge tender, as this is a specially reinforced construction, needing extra materials and cost.
We all know that the quality of workmanship of the numerous road projects in the country is rather poor; not only the road surfaces, but also the slope embankments. The corrupt practices in tenders are legendary; but the vested groups are conveniently ignoring it. The problem is not technical, but human.
