Education minister and Anandpur Sahib MLA Harjot Singh Bains, on Monday, announced approval for five bridges by the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB). He said that the approved bridge projects include Brahmpur and Daroli bridges, originally built during the canal construction. These bridges will be rebuilt for modern needs.
“The Ganguwal double bridge is a strategic project aimed at alleviating chronic traffic congestion, especially during major religious festivals like Hola Mohalla and Viah Purb at Guru Ka Lahore,” he added.
Additionally, the Attari village bridge will connect Attari village directly to the national highway, ending long detours. The Bhaowal bridge is expected to spur employment and economic activity in the area, the minister added.
The education minister said that the tenders have been issued for the Sarsa Nangal Bridge project, for which the work is scheduled to commence around April 14.
Bains also unveiled plans for two key roads, including Nangal to Kalma Mod and Bhanglan to Kanpur Khuhi.
