Nainital News: CM Dhami Opens 120-Metre Bridge, Meets Residents and Reviews Development

Uttarakhand CM Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated a 120-metre double-lane RCC bridge over Sher Nala in Nainital at a cost of ₹9.93 crore, aiming to improve connectivity and reduce monsoon-related travel disruptions.

Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami flagged off a newly constructed bridge over Sher Nala in a programme organised on Sunday, August 16, which will greatly improve connectivity on the Haldwani-Chorgalia-Sitarganj road stretch in Nainital district. The 120 metre double lane RCC concrete bridge has been constructed with an investment of ₹9.93 crore.

The new bridge will make commuting safer and easier not only for the locals but also for tourists, especially during the monsoon when the water level in Sher Nala increases drastically.

Sher Nala Bridge: 120 Metre Bridge Now Open to Traffic

The new bridge being inaugurated is a double lane RCC concrete bridge, which stretches over 120 metres. This project has been taken up to address the long-standing connectivity problem on the Haldwani-Chorgalia-Sitarganj road.

Sher Nala becomes swollen due to heavy rainfall often, which leads to disturbance in traffic flow. The newly constructed bridge will help in reducing the problems of traffic disturbances.
