Thiruvananthapuram | The Kerala government has approved a Rs 35 crore project to rebuild the Chooralmala bridge in Wayanad district which was destroyed in the devastating landslide last year.

The bridge will be rebuilt with enhanced security features from Chooralmala town to Mundakkai road, state Finance Minister K N Balagopal said in an official release here on Wednesday.

The bridge that connected Meppadi with Mundakai and Attamala in the region is being rebuilt.

The bridge will be built in such a way that it can survive another disaster. It will be built at a level higher than the maximum water level recorded in the area during the disaster last year, the release said.

The total length of the bridge will be 267.95 meters and will be 107 metres above the river and 80 meters long on both banks, it said.

The Chooralmala bridge in Wayanad was washed away in the devastating landslide on July 30 last year that claimed over 200 lives.
