The bridge, which spans 8/18.30 M + 2/17.50 M, is situated across the Panchganga River, formed by the confluence of five major streams Kasari, Dhamni, Kumbhi, Tulsi, and Bhogawati. Two major dams, Radhanagari Dam on upstream and Almatti Dam on downstream, regulate the water flow through the Panchganga Bridge.
However, due to heavy rainfall in the Kolhapur region and the catchment area, the river's water level is fast approaching the danger mark marked on the bridge. Any further release of water from the Radhanagari Dam and rainfall in the catchment area will exacerbate the problem, making train operation through this bridge unsafe.
The railway administration may have to suspend rail traffic over the bridge, which will affect train services in the Miraj-Kolhapur Section. This development comes as a concern for the locals and commuters who rely heavily on train services in the region.
