Ministry of road transport and highways is constructing Uttar Pradesh’s (UP) first six-lane extradosed bridge over the Ganga in Prayagaraj.
An extradosed bridge employs a structure that combines the main elements of both a box girder bridge and a cable-stayed bridge, officials said.
The bridge, from Malak Harhar to Stanley road (near Beli Hospital), is expected to be ready by February 2024, said officials.
“The state’s first six-lane extradosed bridge will have an overall length of 9.9 kilometers, of which 3.84 km would be the main bridge and the rest of the distance would be approach section of the bridge,” said project director Raj Kishor Singh, an Indian Engineering Services (IES) officer.
