JAMMU, Jan 17: The Jammu and Kashmir government has accorded administrative approval for the permanent restoration of the damaged approach to the 4th Tawi Bridge near Bhagwati Nagar. The bridge approach had suffered extensive damage during the August 2025 floods, which caused widespread disruption to traffic and local connectivity in the area.
The estimated cost of the restoration project has been set at Rs 1,975.16 lakh, reflecting the scale of the repair work required to ensure the approach is fully safe and durable. Officials said the restoration will involve strengthening the foundation, resurfacing the approach road, and implementing necessary flood-resilient measures to prevent future damage.
The government emphasized that the project will not only restore normal traffic flow but also enhance safety and accessibility for residents and commuters in the surrounding areas. Local authorities have been directed to coordinate with engineering and construction teams to ensure that the work is completed efficiently and meets quality standards.
This initiative forms part of the government’s broader efforts to rehabilitate infrastructure affected by the 2025 floods, restore public utilities, and strengthen resilience against natural disasters in Jammu and Kashmir. (Agencies)
