Mahanadi Bridge, Boudh

Mahanadi Bridge is a road structure that spans about 1.8 kilometers across the river using 74 sections, with a width of about 10.5 meters for vehicles. The construction carries a major portion of regional traffic and links several towns with Boudh.

The bridge project started in 1998 and was finished in 2002, creating a new connection for the region. This structure marked an important step in bringing communities on both sides of the river closer together.

The bridge links several communities on either side of the river, making it easier for people to visit family, reach markets, and conduct trade across the Mahanadi. It serves as a vital passage for daily life in the region.

The bridge forms part of a major national highway and safely carries vehicles over the river, especially during heavy monsoon rains when water levels rise. Visitors should know that the structure is built to remain stable even during significant flooding.

The bridge ranks as the second largest of its kind in Odisha and was specifically designed with reinforced structural elements to handle the powerful water flow during monsoon season. This robust engineering solution is often overlooked by visitors who think of it as ordinary infrastructure.
