The Ahmedabad Traffic Police announced that the Shastri Bridge, connecting Narol and Vishala across the Sabarmati River, will be partially closed for repairs. The closure will affect the side of the bridge that remains unrepaired. The rehabilitation work will include fixing footpaths, parapets, and the road surface. The repairs are expected to be completed by the 31st of December.
During this period, vehicles will be diverted to the newly repaired side of the bridge, which was reopened in October after being closed for 10 months since December 2023. A temporary divider will be installed to manage two-way traffic on the functional side.
