be completed next year. This will strengthen connectivity between North and South Bengal. The second road bridge has faced delays due to a 2020 construction girder collapse that killed two engineers, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the removal of the Chinese construction company due to Indo-China border tensions. The project has received an initial allocation of Rs 550 crore from the Central government and includes the construction of 3 km of approach road on both sides.

तक पूरा होने की उम्मीद है। इससे उत्तर और दक्षिण बंगाल के बीच संपर्क मजबूत होगा। दूसरे सड़क पुल में 2020 में निर्माण गर्डर गिरने के कारण देरी हुई थी, जिसमें दो इंजीनियरों की जान गई थी। COVID-19 महामारी और भारत-चीन सीमा तनाव के कारण चीनी निर्माण कंपनी को हटा दिया गया था। परियोजना के लिए केंद्र सरकार ने 550 करोड़ रुपये का प्रारंभिक आवंटन किया है और दोनों ओर 3 किलोमीटर का संपर्क मार्ग भी बनाया जा रहा है।
