Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], July 13 (ANI): Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has granted administrative approval to the Roads and Buildings Department for the construction of a new two-lane bridge over the Mahi River near Mujpur in Padra taluka, Vadodara district.

This bridge will connect Padra and Anklav.

According to the release, a detailed project report was recently prepared by the Roads & Buildings Department after surveying the parallel bridge to the accident-affected structure.

Following the unfortunate collapse of the existing bridge--which disrupted connectivity between Central Gujarat and Saurashtra and posed challenges for local commuters and students--the Chief Minister swiftly approved this new project.

Superintending Engineer N. V. Rathva informed that the existing two-lane Mujpur approach road will be widened to a four-lane road with a width of 7 meters. The 4.2 km stretch from the highway to the bridge will also be expanded to four lanes.

A new two-lane high-level bridge will be constructed parallel to the collapsed one. The Chief Minister has approved administrative sanction of 212 crore for these works, which are targeted for completion within 18 months.

The tendering process for the project has already commenced. (ANI)
