The BBMP is yet to start repairing the Varthur bridge, which has been wobbling for the past three weeks.
According to the Palike officials, the delay is due to a lack of specialised tools and skilled labourers for the task. "It will start very soon as this kind of repair work needs a highly skilled labour force and specialised tools. We are trying to procure the resources," an official said.
After local residents and NGOs petitioned the civic body, a committee of engineers and experts had inspected the bridge and suggested a replacement of its bearings on May 23.
Following directions from senior Palike officials, the traffic police have restricted the movement of vehicles, weighing above 10 tonnes, on the bridge.
A member of Whitefield Rising, a citizens' group, said: "We hope the work will start as soon as possible. The bridge is still wobbling. We have requested the officials to take up the work immediately."
