Some bridges that had been under water for two days in Belagavi district have been thrown open to traffic following reduced flow of water from dams in Maharashtra and the receding rainfall in the district.
Inflow from Maharashtra has stabilised at around one lakh cusecs in the Krishna and its tributaries, including the Doodh Ganga.
As much as 81,000 cusecs is getting released from the Rajapur barrage, while around 21,000 cusecs is flowing into the Doodh Ganga river course from various barrages.
Bridges over the Ved Ganga in Akkol and Jatrat, that were under water, have now been thrown open to traffic.
However, several bridges are still under water in villages, including Yadur, Mallikwad, Karadaga, Bhojwadi, Barwad and Kalloli. In some places, villagers are using alternative routes while in other places, commuters are forced to take long diversions to reach the other end of such bridges.
