Built at an estimated cost of Rs 175 crore, the 1.48-km-long cable-stayed flyover bridge is the first of its kind in an urban area of the state.
The new bridge is a result of a joint effort by the state government’s Roads and Buildings Department and Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA), with each agency contributing 50 per cent of the project cost.

The chief minister also performed the ground-breaking ceremony for the expansion of a six-lane bridge over the Narmada Main Canal between Koba Circle and Bhat Circle on the Gandhinagar–Ahmedabad corridor. This initiative is a part of the Rs 48-crore project, which will see new three-lane bridges coming up on either side of the existing bridge, thereby making the infrastructure a 12-lane facility.
