About this audio guide
This guide to the Broken Bridge in Chennai starts with the Adyar River in flood in nineteen seventy-seven, and goes back to the single-lane crossing built a decade earlier for the fishing families on both beaches. It follows the bridge into a twenty twenty courtroom, where a dispute over fish stalls on the Marina raised the question of who the crossing should serve. Best heard standing at the jagged end, facing the estuary mouth.
