Bhopal 06 July 2021: Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has said that development activities and implementation of welfare schemes will continue despite the economic crisis created due to Corona in the state. Chief Minister Chouhan was addressing the virtual dedication ceremony of the submersible bridge over the Seep river on Highway 22 at Budhni Nasrullaganj Khategaon Marg in Sehore district. This bridge has been constructed at a cost of Rs 3 crore 74 lakh. Public Works Minister Gopal Bhargava, Principal Secretary Public Works Neeraj Mandloi were present in the programme organized in Mantralaya. It may be noted that a few days ago an attempt was made to start vehicular traffic on this bridge, ignoring the technical procedures.
Bridge to reduce distance of 20 kilometers from the bridge
Chief Minister Chouhan said that after the completion of the work, necessary tests were conducted and on the basis of the reports received, traffic is now being started on the bridge. With the construction of this bridge, the traffic will become smooth for commuters traveling from Nasrullaganj to Harda and Indore. A distance of about 20 kms will be reduced. The already constructed bridge over the Seep river in Nasrullaganj to Khategaon highway 22 was damaged in the year 2020. Approval was given by the state government for the construction of this submersible bridge in an alternate route. Chief Minister Chouhan said that a decision has also been taken to build a big bridge over the Seep river. It will be completed in about one and a half years.
Proposal sent to center for connecting national highways
Chief Minister Chouhan said that PWD has approved a cement-concrete road from Nasrullaganj to Sehore road which was damaged. This road will be built between Sehore-Kosmi at a cost of Rs 117 crore and Kosmi-Nasrullaganj at a cost of Rs 33 crore. With this, direct cement-concrete road will be available from Nasrullaganj to Sehore. Chief Minister Chouhan said that apart from these roads, a proposal has been sent to the central government to connect Indore-Betul National Highway and Jabalpur-Jaipur National Highway. With the joining of both the routes, the distance between Indore-Jabalpur will be reduced and business will also be encouraged – Window to News
