The Union ministry of road transport and highways has sanctioned a proposal for an alternative bridge over Balason river along NH 31 but is yet to elaborate on the funds required for the project.
“We have information that the central government has recently approved the proposal of a second bridge over Balason River. The proposed bridge will be built on the southwest of the existing bridge over the river,” said a source in the state PWD.
The new bridge will be 180 metres long and 16 metres wide, almost like the existing one, the source said.
However, there is no clarity on funds yet.
