Ganga Rail-Cum-Road Bridge Approved
The Indian government approved a ₹2,642 crore project to construct a rail-cum-road bridge over the Ganga in Varanasi. Set to take four years to complete, the bridge will improve transportation efficiency in the Varanasi-Chandauli region, easing congestion for both passenger and freight transport. The project also includes the addition of third and fourth railway lines to enhance capacity, with potential to handle 27.83 million tonnes of goods annually. It is part of the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan, aiming to boost regional economic growth and streamline connectivity.
