Bhopal's Public Works Department (PWD) minister, Rakesh Singh, has expressed his frustration regarding the slow progress and inadequate lighting of the elevating bridge in Bairagarh. He ordered officials to impose penalties on the agency for their negligence and delayed construction, as stipulated by the contract. Singh emphasized that the bridge's construction must be completed by March 2027.
During his inspection of the works, accompanied by Huzur MLA Rameshwar Sharma, Singh assessed the progress, quality, security, service road, and traffic-related matters. He directed the agency to rectify all shortcomings within three days. Singh stressed that the service road will be the primary route for people and vehicles during the bridge's construction, thus prioritizing security measures.
He also instructed officials to restart the non-functional street lights, streamline arrangements near the civil hospital, and ensure safe traffic conditions for ambulances, patients, and pedestrians. Construction barriers should only be placed near active work sites, and unnecessary barriers should not be erected. Construction waste must be promptly removed from the site.
Additionally, Singh directed officials to address the issues faced by businessmen and locals during the construction phase, prioritizing proper rainwater harvesting on the bridge.
