The Amdavad Municipal Corporation has introduced an initiative to maximize the utility of space beneath city bridges. As a pilot project, facilities such as box cricket courts and open libraries will be established under five city bridges, including three in the eastern part of the city.
The Municipal Corporation has allocated an estimated budget of Rs. 25 crores for this undertaking.
Each bridge will host a range of amenities, including box cricket facilities, children’s play areas, open libraries with seating, walking tracks, and parking spaces. The cost of developing each space is projected to be approximately Rs. 5 crore.
Preparations for the commencement of operations at all five bridges are set to begin within the next month.
