According to a report by Sandesh, Ahmedabad's historic Ellis Bridge is being prepared as a state-of-the-art heritage destination and walkway. Under this project, renovation work of the bridge is underway at an approximate cost of ₹42.9 crore, which may be presented to citizens as a gift on the occasion of the New Year.
The old steel structure of the bridge is being preserved for its historical strength by providing special engineering treatment. Along with this, the flooring work for walking on the bridge is also nearing completion. Modern seating arrangements will also be provided on this new walkway, so that people can enjoy the beautiful views of the Sabarmati River and the sunset with their families.
Ellis Bridge is a century-old bridge in Ahmedabad, which connects the western and eastern parts of the city via the Sabarmati River. This bolstering arch truss bridge was Ahmedabad's first bridge, constructed in 1892. In 1997, concrete wings were added to both sides of it, and its name was changed to Swami Vivekananda Bridge.
