The Hatkeshwar Bridge, constructed in 2017 at an estimated cost of INR 42 crore, is now slated for demolition at the budget of INR 52 crore. Due to severe structural deterioration, the bridge was closed to traffic in 2022, becoming a glaring example of a failed infrastructure project. Initially projected to have a lifespan of 100 years, the bridge began showing signs of structural issues just five years after its completion. Cracks and other defects led to its closure in 2022. A stability test conducted by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) confirmed that the bridge was no longer safe for use. Built by Ajay Infra, the Hatkeshwar Bridge’s premature failure has raised significant concerns about construction quality and oversight. Gujarat Bridge Collapse Video: Portion of Under-Construction Bridge Collapses in Palanpur.
