As Bhima river water levels increased, police blocked part of NH-50 for traffic in Kalaburagi district on Oct 16.
Commuters stuck on the way are undergoing hardships.
"We've been stranded here for 2 days.
There's nothing to eat or drink.
The water is still 5-6 feet below the bridge but we aren't being allowed to cross," said a driver.
Several areas nearby are flooded.
