On the road from Bhandara town to the Ashok Leyland plant, there is a river that cuts across the road. This river is the Wainganga which is a tributary of the Godavari. The Wainganga has its source in Madhya Pradesh and flows through Maharashtra. The river is pretty sluggish here as it passes near Bhandara on its way to joining the Godavari near Nashik. Currently the river is crossed by a strong concrete bridge. From this bridge you can see the former bridge built one hundred years ago by the British. The locals say this bridge has survived many floods. During the monsoons this bridge would be submerged. I took this shot from the eastern ewnd of the new bridge in the evening around 6:00 PM on 14th September.
