A newly inaugurated ₹16 crore bridge over the Tons River in Dehradun developed a massive crater near its approach road after heavy rainfall, disrupting traffic and triggering questions about construction quality. The bridge is a key link connecting Dehradun, Vikasnagar and neighbouring Himachal Pradesh. The incident comes as Uttarakhand remains under an orange alert for heavy to very heavy rainfall, with authorities expected to conduct a technical inspection to determine the cause of the damage.
