Commissioner Secretary Public Works Department Khurshid Ahmad Shah, in presence of Deputy Commissioner Srinagar Shahid Iqbal Choudhary, Thursday inaugurated the newly built bridge over Doodganga channel at Bagh-e-Mehtab here.
The 30-meter-span truss grider bridge constructed at a cost of Rs 1.77 crore is an important link connecting Bagh-e-Mehtab and adjoining areas with the old airport road at Wanbal and the new airport road at Peerbagh.
The bridge was one of the languishing projects of the district and a longstanding demand of residents of adjoining areas of Bagh-e-Mehtab, offering a much-needed alternative and allowing an easier and time-saving access to and from the airport.
