Work on constructing a 34-foot-wide bridge on the Jacob drain, near Government Mohindra College, started today. The old 14-foot bridge has been declared unsafe.
The new bridge will be 34-foot wide and will be constructed at a cost of Rs68 lakh. Mayor Sanjeev Kumar Sharma said the narrow bridge had been a cause of traffic jams in the area. The bridge connects the areas of Sheesh Mahal Colony, Sanauri Adda and other areas of the city.
