Gujarat CM Inaugurates New Vadodara Bridge a Year After Collapse
Nearly a year after the Gambhira-Mujpur bridge collapse in Vadodara district that killed 22 people, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated a new 868.75-metre bridge over the Mahi River. Constructed in 12 months with enhanced materials, the bridge restores a key route between Vadodara's Padra taluka and Anand district. The project, costing around Rs 278 crore, was fast-tracked with government oversight. The inauguration was part of a broader development initiative including other local projects.
