Steel bridge construction has begun near Chakk Jidan village.

Main highway lane is under demolition to facilitate the project.

Project aims to boost connectivity and infrastructure durability.

The construction of a new steel bridge has officially commenced in front of Chakk Jidan village, marking a significant step in local infrastructure development. The project is being executed as part of a broader effort to modernize the national highway network and improve traffic flow in the region.

To facilitate the bridge's construction, authorities have started demolishing the main lane of the highway, temporarily diverting traffic to alternative routes. The move, while causing short-term inconvenience, is expected to result in a more robust and efficient road connection upon completion.

Local officials confirmed that the steel bridge is being built using high-grade materials to withstand heavy traffic and adverse weather conditions. The initiative aligns with India’s growing focus on durable and sustainable steel infrastructure, showcasing how steel is playing a vital role in regional connectivity projects.

Residents of Chakk Jidan and nearby areas have expressed optimism about the long-term benefits, though some concerns remain regarding traffic and safety during the demolition and construction phases.
