In good news for the people of Jammu city, the government has decided to connect the Circular road near Jullaka Mohalla with Jammu Heritage Complex, through a flyover Bridge.
The present road is narrow and is often witness to frequent traffic jams because of the traffic plying from both ends of the roads. Additionally, the road is also a victim of landslides and has sunk in, during the rains, in the past as well.
Fulfilling a long-pending demand, the Jammu and Kashmir government on Saturday accorded sanctions for the construction of 250 Metre span Flyover Bridge with approaches, connecting the Circular road near Jullaka Mohalla with Heritage Complex, Jammu.
The flyover bridge will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 23.50 Crore.
“In exercise of powers vested under SO 217 of 2021 dated 01-07-2021, issued by the Finance Department, Administrative Approval is hereby accorded for Construction of 250 Mtr. span Flyover Bridge with approaches, connecting Circular road near Jullaka Mohalla with Heritage Complex, Jammu’ at an estimated cost of Rs- 23.50 Crore (Twenty Three Crore Fifty lakh) only under Capex Budget 2022-23 of Jammu Metropolitan Region Development Authority”, read an order issued by Housing and Urban Development in this regard.
