# Joint survey for Ganjam bridges after OTV reports 2026-08-09T14:46:39+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet According to Odishatv.in, a joint team from the Works Department and Railways has surveyed sites for a road bridge over the Rushikulya River, two railway bridges, and an overbridge in Odisha's Ganjam district. The survey followed OTV reports that villagers from 15 areas were risking their lives using a railway bridge due to lack of an alternative. Retired Chief Engineer Binod Kumar Padhi said tenders for two bridges are finalised and work will start soon. Former councillor Durgamadhab Panigrahi said the new road bridge will be built near Sana Kanjipokhari instead of the old British-era bridge. ## Coverage - odishatv.in Tags: bridges, Ganjam, infrastructure, media advocacy, Odisha, railway safety Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/joint-survey-for-ganjam-bridges-after-otv-reports/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
