Guwahati, August 14: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma inaugurated a new reinforced cement concrete (RCC) bridge connecting Bamunorjan Road with Forest School Road in Jalukbari under the Mukhyamantrir Unnata Pakipoth Aachoni.
Built at a cost of more than Rs 2.56 crore, the 32.40-metre-long bridge has replaced the old and dilapidated wooden bridge, providing safer and more convenient connectivity for thousands of commuters.
Residents of Garigaon, Baripara, Bhakunda, Jeutipara and Noapara are expected to benefit directly from the new infrastructure, which will improve connectivity and ease daily travel.
Sarma said the Assam government was working to replace more than 1,000 wooden and dilapidated bridges across the state with all-weather RCC bridges.
The initiative is aimed at strengthening road connectivity, improving public safety and facilitating faster delivery of government services and welfare schemes across Assam.
