New Rs 163.8 Million Steel Bridge For Ropar

Punjab Minister for Building and Roads Harbhajan Singh ETO laid the foundation stone for a new steel bridge over the Sirhind Canal in Ropar city. The 111.24-metre structure is being built at an estimated cost of Rs 163.8 million (mn) and will replace an existing bridge constructed in 1884-85. The older crossing had been closed to heavy vehicles and cars about five years ago owing to deteriorating condition.

The existing bridge served as a crucial link to the city’s main market and its replacement has been described as a long-pending requirement. The minister said providing better basic infrastructure to the people was a top priority of the state government and that the modern steel structure would strengthen Ropar’s infrastructure. The project will streamline traffic and provide safer, more convenient transportation for residents, visitors and traders.

The minister said the replacement would provide major relief to commuters and traders visiting the market and give a fresh impetus to commercial activities. He noted that the government was undertaking development projects across Punjab to improve basic infrastructure in both urban and rural areas. Once completed, the new bridge will significantly improve connectivity and support economic activity in Ropar.

Ropar Aam Aadmi Party MLA Dinesh Chadha thanked the state government for fulfilling the long-standing demand and described the project as an important investment in the future development of the city. Residents and members of the business community welcomed the commencement of construction work and expressed hope that the new bridge will ease transportation and strengthen the local market economy. Construction will proceed and the crossing will retain its role as a key connection to the main market.
