Amid heavy floods in Jammu, the J&K Army quickly constructed a 110-foot Bailey Bridge over the Tawi River in just 12 hours after part of the fourth bridge collapsed due to rain. The damaged eastern section was a vital link for the city, causing traffic and transport disruptions. Army engineers worked through washed-out approaches and limited space to reopen the route, restoring vehicle movement and ensuring smooth access for relief efforts in the affected areas.
