AMC Begins Construction of Gujarat’s First Rubber-Cum-Barrage Bridge

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has commenced work on Gujarat’s first rubber-cum-barrage bridge over the Sabarmati River. The 1-kilometer, six-lane bridge, being built at an estimated cost of ?300 crore, aims to enhance connectivity between eastern and western Ahmedabad, providing direct access from Sabarmati to the airport via Sadar Bazaar. 

Standing Committee Chairman Devang Dani announced that 10,000 square meters of land from Torrent Power near Rathi Apartment has been acquired for constructing the approach road. This road will also link to the Sabarmati Riverfront. 

Part of the Sabarmati Riverfront Project Phase-2, the bridge will stretch 1,047 meters, connecting Acher on the west bank to Camp Sadar Bazar on the east bank. Approach bridges on both sides will integrate it with the riverfront road. 

The project is expected to ease traffic congestion and improve airport access for residents of North Gujarat, Sabarmati, Chandkheda, Hansol, Motera, and nearby areas. Once completed, commuters will no longer need to travel via Shahibaug Dafnala to reach the airport. A 2 to 2.5-meter-wide pedestrian footpath will also be constructed beneath the bridge to enhance connectivity along the Sabarmati Riverfront.
