In an effort to improve communication between the two districts and ease traffic congestion, Odisha Law Minister Prithviraj Harichandan on Monday inaugurated a new railway overbridge that connects the districts of Cuttack and Jagatsinghpur. The 511-meter-long bridge, which was constructed at a cost of Rs 60.965 crore, will shorten travel times and make it easier for patients, senior citizens, working professionals, and students to move around. It is anticipated that the bridge will benefit about 100,000 people every day.
The recently completed bridge makes it simpler to travel between the districts of Cuttack and Jagatsinghpur by connecting Nuabazar and Press Chhak. The Minister said during the bridge’s inauguration that the state government is dedicated to creating sustainable and high-quality infrastructure to propel Odisha’s development. With Odisha now a popular destination nationwide, these cutting-edge connectivity solutions will be essential to bringing people together from all over the nation. Building infrastructure that will assist the people of the state and advance general growth is the government’s top priority.
The inauguration ceremony of the new railway overbridge was attended by several notable figures, including Cuttack MP Bhartruhari Mahtab, Cuttack Sadar MLA Prakash Chandra Sethi, Cuttack-Choudwar MLA Souvic Biswal, Cuttack-Barabati MLA Sofia Firdous, Mahanga MLA Sarada Prasad Pradhan, Cuttack District Collector Dattatraya Bhausaheb Shinde, social worker Nayan Mohanty, actor Sritam Das and Superintending Engineer of Public Works Department Jyoti Ranjan Pati.
