SRINAGAR: Bemina bridge, stated to be the longest bridge in Kashmir, will be thrown open to the public next week, officials have said.
The 250 m long bridge at Bemina in the city has been completed at an estimated cost of Rs 10 crores, officials said on Tuesday.
Work on the bridge was started in 1988 but could not be completed due to eruption of militancy in 1988-89 in the state, they said, adding the work was restarted a year ago by the coalition government.
Meanwhile, District Development Commissioner Budgam Farooq Ahmed Renzu along with officers of army engineering division inspected Goripora Bridge in the district which had mysteriously collapsed during winter this year.
The bridge was launched 10 years ago by the Army. The Deputy Commissioner said a new steel bridge would be made operational next week to replace the damaged bridge.
The DDC advised on spot the executive agencies for upgradation of the road from Bemina bridge to Goripora.
