    What's the story

    Union minister Nitin Gadkari will inaugurate the 1.2 km-long Keediyan-Gandiyal bridge on the Ravi river in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir on January 22.

    The inter-state bridge was built at a cost of nearly Rs. 150 crore in a span of three and a half years linking secluded areas of Kathua district with Punjab, the officials said.

    Here are the details.

    Details

    Bridge will boost social, economic development in adjoining areas: Officials

    Officials said the bridge would strengthen the inter-state connectivity besides giving a boost to the social as well as economic development of the people living in adjoining areas.

    Advisor to Governor Kewal Kumar Sharma visited the bridge site yesterday and inspected the arrangements being made for the inaugural event.

    With its commissioning, officials said the 60-year pending demand for the bridge will be fulfilled.

    Benefits

    J&K-Punjab travel time will be shortened by inter-state bridge

    The travel distance between the two inter-state destinations of Jammu and Kashmir and Punjab will get shortened and at the same time, it will reduce traffic on the Jammu-Kathua-Pathankot National Highway.

    While inspecting the arrangements for the inaugural function, the advisor exhorted upon the agencies to ensure necessary arrangements are put in place for smooth and successful conduct of the event.
