Deshpran Birendra Bridge on NH14 (erstwhile, NH60), over Kangshabati River connecting Kharagpur - Midnapore in West Bengal is in a terrible state of disrepair as in September 2018.
Huge chunks of concrete have fallen off from the surface of the long bridge. Unbelievably, huge concrete masses have fallen of from most of the pillars supporting the bridge. The railings are almost non existent. Trees and shrubs have grown on the side walls.
The bridge can collapse any moment!
If this vital road link is cut off, cars/ bikes/ trucks/ buses from entire India located south of Kharagpur (including those from Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Telengana, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Kerala) will have untold misery reaching Durgapur, Asansol, Malda, North Bengal, North Eastern states, Bhutan, etc.
