After a major overhaul in 2015, the highways department took up modification works along retaining walls of the bridge in March 2018. Officials said that the ongoing repair works would be completed in 20 days.However, frequent repair works taken up on the bridge did not go well with the residents. Trichy’s iconic Cauvery bridge, a leisure spot attracting hundreds of denizens every evening, is undergoing its third major renovation work in the past three years. To ensure the safety of pedestrians, the highways department chalked out a proposal to strengthen the bridge at an estimated cost of Rs 15 lakh. Acting on a complaint filed by local people, the highways department filled the gap..
