Diamond cutters and two 140-tonne-capacity cranes were used over the weekend to dismantle a portion of the deck of the collapsed Majerhat bridge over railway tracks. The diamond cutters were used to slice the deck into smaller pieces, which were then lowered and placed on wagons on the tracks by the cranes. “Diamond cutters cut concrete efficiently. We could have deployed jaw cutters but that would have generated a lot of debris. “We want to demolish the old bridge and start work on the new at the earliest,” a PWD official said.
