Keeping this in mind, construction of a new bridge on the Ganga river has become necessary.

Demand of Rs 46,000 lakh

Under this plan, initially a four-lane bridge was proposed, but due to the construction of the merging point at one place in the city, there was a danger of increasing the traffic density and affecting the movement.
