Heavy Traffic Congestion:
Connectivity between Vadodara and Anand has been impacted by the bridge collapse. On both sides, there is a lengthy line of cars. Traffic has been rerouted by the police. The flow of people will be significantly impacted if this bridge collapses. Going from Vadodara to Anand or Anand to Vadodara now requires a lengthy 40-kilometer detour.
