The Piprakhali bridge is under the Irrigation and Waterways Directorate, Govt. of West-Bengal. It is an important bridge in Basanti near Sunderban. This area is highly prone to corrosion because of the close proximity of sea water from the Bay of Bengal.
This fact was quite evident from the condition of the bridge which is just 8 years old. Some portions of the bridge were totally distorted due to corrosion and had to be replaced before the coating application could be started in 2008.
