The Bailey Bridge in Madarsi area of Bhandaria upazila of Pirojpur has a capacity of 20 tons. The bridge collapsed on Friday night while crossing two trucks weighing 50 tons. This has stopped direct road communication in 12 routes.
Talking to the police and the local people, it is learned that two trucks, crossing the bridge, were crossing the bridge at two o'clock in the morning. At this time due to excess weight, the bridge broke and the truck fell into the canal. After the accident, the two drivers run away. Direct road communication between Dhaka and Barisal, Khulna and Pirojpur, along with Patharghata upazila of Mathbaria and Barguna, was stopped due to the collapse of the bridge.
Fakhrul Islam, deputy assistant engineer of Roads and Highways Department, Pirojpur office, said the bridge was broken due to a total of 50 tonnes of stone-laden trucks (25 tonnes per truck), with a maximum capacity of 20 tonnes.
Bundaria Police Station Sub-Inspector Shahidul Islam said, "People were going through a broken bridge to risk the crossing. We made arrangements to cross the movement of people and cross the boat. The truck driver is absconding since the incident.

If the owner of this truck receives compensation for this bridge from the supplier and supplier, at least no one will do this work in future due to fear of loss of huge amount.
