Ellisbridge Heritage Walkway to Open Soon After ₹43 Crore Revamp

Ahmedabad: The heritage walkway on the historic Ellisbridge over the Sabarmati River, connecting the eastern and western parts of the city, is being redeveloped with modern amenities at an estimated cost of ₹42.9 crore. The project is nearing completion and is expected to be opened to the public soon.

The redevelopment aims to preserve the British-era bridge’s heritage character while transforming it into a pedestrian-friendly recreational destination overlooking the Sabarmati River.

Renovation work is progressing rapidly, with specialised engineering treatment being carried out on the original steel framework to strengthen the structure while retaining its historic character. The installation of pedestrian flooring is also nearing completion.

The redeveloped bridge will feature dedicated seating arrangements, allowing visitors to sit with their families and enjoy views of the Sabarmati River and sunsets. The project is designed to provide a walking and recreational space while preserving the architectural heritage of Ellisbridge.

Once completed, the heritage walkway is expected to enhance Ahmedabad’s urban landscape and emerge as a major attraction for residents and tourists. DeshGujarat
