A senior officer of the Chandigarh administration raised objection against the construction of a 850 feet bridge at commercial hub of the city, Sector 17 as the project may affect trees on the stretch.
It is learnt that there are around 60 trees on the road dividing KC theatre and bank square, where the project of bridge is coming up.
According to initial design of the project, the entire span of the bridge would be around 850, out of which both inclining part would be around 245 feet each. The length of bridge would be around 352 feet. The width of the bridge will be around 58 feet and it will have two underway roads, which will be mainly used by two-wheelers. Each road will have an area of 10 to 12 feet. Earlier, the project was passed and even work was also allotted to the private company around two months back.
Chandigarh municipal corporation has already allotted the work to a private firm. In order to sort out the issue a meeting was scheduled with the UT administrator KK Sharma.
