Pune Bridge Explosion

An old bridge constructed in the early 90s in the Chandani Chowk area in Pune was demolished through a controlled implosion in the early hours of Sunday, officials said.

The 190-year-old Reversing Bridge, or more commonly known as the Amrutanjan Bridge, on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway was recently demolished. Built during the early British Era, the bridge was removed with a planned explosion on Sunday, April 5, because it was causing traffic snarls and caused several accidents on the route.
