Lucknow, March 11 -- The UP cabinet gave its nod for the construction of a new bridge over the Ganga in Kanpur district to connect Trans Ganga City with the main city. The project will be carried out under the Atal Industrial Infrastructure Mission. Under this project, a four-lane high-level bridge along with its approach roads will be constructed across the Ganga. At the proposed location, Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) is developing Trans Ganga City, where there is a plan to relocate several industrial units from Kanpur and nearby areas. According to the government, once Trans Ganga City is fully developed, the movement of both heavy and light vehicles across the Ganga will increase significantly. This could further intensify traffic congestion on the existing Ganga Barrage route. Considering the expected traffic load, instead of constructing a single four-lane bridge, a proposal has been made to build two separate bridges of two lanes each. The total approved cost of the project is approximately Rs.753.13 crore. htc...
