A bridge across Bagjola canal that would connect Gouranganagar to Action Area 1 of New Town is ready for inauguration.
“There was a demand for a motorable connectivity for a long time. So far local people had to use a ramshackle bamboo bridge which is risky and over which vehicles cannot cross. This bridge, once it is opened, will be of great benefit to people of the area,” said Hidco managing director Debashis Sen.
The suspension bridge, 37m long and 5.5m wide, was one year in the making. Modelled after an existing bridge over the same canal near the Biswa Bangla Convention Centre, it has been beautifully illuminated.
