Chief Minister Rekha Gupta laid the foundation stone for a foot overbridge near Ladakh Budh Vihar on Outer Ring Road in Kashmere Gate on Thursday. The bridge will be constructed at an estimated cost of ₹3 crore.
The CM said the project fulfils a long-standing demand of the residents. She said the bridge will enable citizens visiting Ladakh Budh Vihar and the Monastery Market to cross the road safely, making movement in the area more convenient and secure.
She said the design of the bridge was developed keeping Ladakhi architectural elements in mind, so that the structure not only provides modern facilities but also reflects the cultural identity and traditions of the residents. Lifts will also be installed to provide special convenience to the elderly, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women, she added.
