Many bridge structures are built all over the world with numerous challenges. The construction of a cable suspended bridge in the mid seventies at a extremely remote village of Andaman & Nicobar Island was a real challenge since there was hardly any proper equipment available, as well as a lack of skilled man power. These challenges may be dealt with proactive initiatives and executable planning by experienced professionals. Matters could become beyond control if further challenges from wild animals are encountered. This paper is the challenges faced during the construction of a bridge built more than thirty years ago in the extremely remote village of Andaman and Nicobar Islands over a canal of crocodiles. |
