An LDA official said that as part of the plan, seven shops will be built under the bridge, providing visitors with a variety of cuisines. Additionally, the site will include an art gallery, open mic platform, drama, and mime performances, creating a lively cultural space. An interpretation centre will also be set up near the bridge to educate visitors about wetlands and bird species.

LDA vice chairman Prathamesh Kumar highlighted the location’s accessibility which is just one kilometre from the Shaheed Path and Ekana Stadium, ensuring seamless connectivity.

With a blend of food, art, and cultural attractions, the CG City foot overbridge is set to become a prime destination for food lovers and fun seekers in city.
