India's Bridges: Muttukadu River Bridge in Tamil Nadu (1)

January 2005 (12.804 Degrees, 80.243 Degrees) Muttukadu River Bridge

Since I showed a photo of a camel cart yesterday, I thought I'd show an ox cart today. We are now on the east side of India, in Tamil Nadu. The ox cart is traveling on a very long T girder bridge on pier walls over the wide Muttukadu River. Villagers said the bridge had been overtopped by waves during the Sumatra Earthquake and Tsunami in December of 2004, but we couldn't find any damage and the barrier rail looked freshly painted.
