Ladakh L-G Lays Foundation for Two Bridges to Improve Nubra Valley Connectivity
Ladakh Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena laid foundation stones for two motorable bridges in Nubra Valley, aiming to enhance connectivity and reduce travel distances. The Burma-Sumoor Bridge will cut the journey from nearly 70 km to about 500 metres, benefiting around 848 residents and supporting agriculture and tourism. The Tongsted Bridge will provide all-weather access to several remote villages, aiding over 500 residents. Both projects, sanctioned under the Union Territory's Special Development Package with a combined cost of Rs 83.39 crore, are expected to improve access to healthcare, education, markets, and government services.
