In a bid to deal with the massive traffic congestion in the south city area, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has given in-principle approval to construct four bridges over the Sidhwan Canal at the Laddowal bypass here.
The development assumes significance as the project was awaiting nod for the past some time and Rajya Sabha MP from Ludhiana Sanjeev Arora had recently impressed upon NHAI Chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav to accord green signal to the project.
Confirming the development, NHAI Project Director Krishan Sachdeva told The Tribune here on Saturday that the NHAI had given formal approval to build the bridges over the Sidhwan Canal and a communication to this effect was received from the authority’s headquarters here this evening.
