The chief minister said the opening of the bridge comes as a huge relief in easing traffic congestion in the state capital.

The chief minister appreciated the state public works department for completing the work two months ahead from the target date of completion.
Khandu said said in the coming days to ease traffic congestion, alternate route through ESS sector here will also be opened by March 2020.
The traffic along that route had been shut due to the landslide, on which work has already been started, he informed.
He further informed that Rs 100 crore has been placed for improvement of all sectorial roads in the state capital region.
“Work to improve road communication is going on full swing despite only few months of working season available due to monsoon,” the chief minister said.
