Guwahati: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways and Ayush, Sarbananda Sonowal on Saturday visited the construction site of Majuli-Jorhat bridge over Brahmaputra to take stock of the work in progress.

Incidentally, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid foundation stone of the bridge project across River Brahmaputra exactly two years ago on Feb 18, 2021.

For people living in Majuli Island, the 2-lane major bridge including approaches over Brahmaputra River between Majuli (Kamalabari) and Jorhat (Nimati Ghat) (6.8 km) on NH-715K costing Rs 925.47 crore is being constructed.

The Union Minister urged officials and engineers associated with the project to expedite construction of the sub-structure of the bridge.

"PM Narendra Modi ji has laid great emphasis on transforming the transportation sector of Assam and the North East. I believe that the long-awaited Jorhat-Majuli bridge will open a new horizon in this direction," Sarbananda Sonowal said.
