Construction of the Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) bridge over Chitral River at Osiak village in the historical town of Drosh has been completed by communication and Works department (C&W) which causing for happiness of people of that area. Before this, there was an old wooden bridge over the river in Osiak which had become very dangerous and many precious lives have been lost due to several accidents in past.
Thousands of people in dozens of villages are living here across the river near to Afghan border. But due to non availability of a jeepable bridge on this river, these people could neither carry their household goods on this old bridge nor cargo and loaded vehicle can pass on it because the old wooden bridge was in very dilapidated condition.
People were often forced to unload firewood and other heavy goods from vehicles across this bridge and only light vehicles can pass over it. Now the RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) bridge has been built on this river, and now these people will be able to take heavy machinery and loaded vehicles over it easily.
