AMC Plans New Bridge Over Sabarmati River Connecting Koteshwar-Hansol

Ahmedabad: With the city preparing to host the 2030 Commonwealth Games and also bidding for the 2036 Olympic Games, the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is planning a major expansion of its transport infrastructure to improve connectivity between the airport and the Narendra Modi Stadium.

A key project in the plan is the proposed Koteshwar-Hansol river bridge, which is expected to provide a direct link between the airport and the stadium. The civic body has already approved two 30-metre-wide roads leading towards the Sabarmati River under the Town Planning (TP) schemes of Koteshwar and Hansol.

It is learnt that the civic body is undertaking comprehensive planning ahead of the Commonwealth Games, with a focus on widening approach roads and developing new road networks leading to the Narendra Modi Stadium.

A foot overbridge has also been planned behind the Narendra Modi Stadium, while construction of a barrage-cum-bridge is progressing near the Sabarmati Acher Crematorium.

As per a TOI report, roadway alignments have been planned for the river bridge. The bridge will connect to a new tunnel passing beneath the firing range near the Taj Hotel.

The proposed connectivity is also linked to plans for the development of the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Sports Enclave, which is being planned around the Narendra Modi Stadium. DeshGujarat
