HYDERABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Sep, 2025) The National Highway Authority (NHA) has apprised that the authority's 4 bridges on the Indus river are strong enough to sustain the ongoing high flood in the river.

Member South Zone National Highway Authority Ramesh Raja informed on Tuesday that the bridges on the river were designed to sustain up to 1.4 million cusecs of flood while the ongoing deluge level had not even reached 700,000 cusecs mark.

According to him, he led inspection of all the 4 bridges right from the command area of Guddu barrage to Kotri barrage.

He said during the inspection they found that the structures were robust enough to sustain the torrent.

The 4 bridges include 1.58 kilometers long Sukkur bridge; 1.22 km Khairpur-Larkana bridge; 1.32 km Qazi Ahmed-Amri bridge; and 1.58 km Hyderabad bypass road bridge.
