The much awaited RCC T-Beam bridge over Dhansiri river, near Urban Haat Dimapur will be opened to traffic after chief minister Neiphiu inaugurates the bridge on April 13, 2021.
The opening of the two-lane bridge is expected to bring a major relief to commuters and address the problem of traffic congestion to a certain extent.
It may be mentioned that the bridge, which connects Super Market and Purana Bazar, was almost ready for use, but opening of the bridge faced delays owing to some issues.
The urban development department issued work order in February 2010.
However, the bridge construction could not begin reportedly due to ownership claim by the border roads organisation.
The construction commenced only in 2016-17 after the intervention of the state government.
