17 km Cable Bridge to be Constructed in Bhopal
Bhopal MP Alok Sharma met with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in Delhi to propose a 17 km long cable bridge connecting Rani Kamalapati Railway Station to the airport. Sharma explained that this includes a 2 km elevated bridge over the Bada Talab (Big Lake). The Union Minister deemed the project crucial and gave his approval. The current traffic congestion significantly increases travel time to the airport; hence, a dedicated bridge is considered necessary to improve accessibility. During the meeting, MP Alok Sharma also proposed the four-laning of the road from Karond to Berasia in Bhopal to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. This project has been approved under the PM Gati Shakti scheme. This 35 km road will connect NH 146 to 346. The completion of both these major projects is expected to alleviate traffic congestion in Bhopal and improve commute times.
