Funds for Yarkhun bridge released

Arrangements to restart work on the collapsed bridge connecting the Yarkhun valley with other parts of the district have been finalized and work on the project will start soon.

This was stated by MNA Shahzada Mohiuddin while talking to this correspondent in Islamabad on Friday.

He said funds for the Rs7 million project had been received and the contractor was awaiting the water level to decrease to initiate work. The construction work at the site was stopped after drilling a few bores when the water level increased in May this year. The bridge was destroyed by flooding in the river in August 2006.
