The Chief Minister of Meghalaya laid the foundation stone for a new reinforced concrete (RCC) bridge over the Didak River, signalling the commencement of a major infrastructure initiative.
The bridge, which will span the Didak River, is intended to enhance road connectivity for communities that have long faced limited access during monsoon seasons. By providing a more reliable crossing, the project aims to support local commerce and reduce travel times.
Officials noted that the new structure will replace a narrow, often impassable route that has hindered movement between key villages. The construction is expected to improve safety and facilitate smoother transport of goods and people.
Work on the bridge is set to begin shortly after the foundation ceremony, with the state government outlining a phased approach to ensure timely completion and minimal disruption to the surrounding area.
