New Delhi : The Indian Army has built in record time a footbridge near the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium and handed it over to the Commonwealth Games organisers, an official said Friday.

“The bridge has been handed over to the organisers (of the sporting event),” an official in the army headquarters told IANS.

The army stepped in to build the retractable Bailey overpass after an under-construction footbridge collapsed Sep 21 near the stadium, the main venue of the mega sporting event.

According to officials, construction work started Sep 25.
