The same bridge collapsed last year as well. At that time, the officials said that the bridge collapsed due to strong winds.
The construction of the bridge was inaugurated by CM Nitish Kumar on March 9, 2015.
The completion date of the project was March 2019 and it has missed six deadlines in the past.
