Naiduniya Representative, Bhind: Permission has been received from the Forest Department and Chambal Sanctuary to build a cable-supported bridge on the Chambal River connecting Madhya Pradesh to Etawah in Uttar Pradesh on the lines of Mumbai’s Bandra-Worli Sea Bridge. The work of building the bridge will begin in the last week of October.
The bridge on the Chambal river between Barhi-Udi was built in 1975. Being a 49-year-old bridge, the bridge has been damaged several times in the last five years. Two years ago, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had sanctioned Rs 296 crore for building a four-lane road from the Yamuna river bridge to the Chambal river and a new bridge on the Chambal river.

After getting permission from the Forest Department and Chambal Sanctuary on 31st July, the company has accelerated its preparations.
