Staff Reporter DIMAPUR FEB 15 (NPN) : The much-awaited RCC T-Beam Bridge over Dhansiri river, near Urban Haat, Dimapur is likely to open for traffic by the end of February.

Reliable sources told Nagaland Post that the bridge, which connects Super Market and Purana Bazar, was almost ready for use, but owing to some issues the opening of the bridge has been delayed.

Sources said that land owners stopped the construction of retaining walls for the approach road at Purana Bazar side, which stalled the progress of work.

It was learnt that after officials from Urban Development department wrote a letter to the Revenue officer to look into the issue, the official along with survey team had inspected the site two weeks back.

Sources said that if the Revenue officer initiate appropriate actions, the bridge was most likely to be open for use.

It may be noted that on September 2, 2020, the Naga Council Dimapur (NCD) had served an ultimatum on Urban Development department to complete the RCC T-Beam bridge by December 2020. NCD had stated that urban development department issued work order to M/S Aien Meren Enterprises in February 2010. It said that as per work order terms and condition SL.No.2, all the works of the project must be completed within 24 months from the date of issue of work order.

However, NCD had said that even after 10 years, the bridge was still incomplete causing immense hardship to commuters.
