Commuters in Ahmedabad will have to take alternative routes as the Chimanbhai Patel Bridge will remain closed to vehicular traffic for five hours on two consecutive nights, November 3 and 4, due to construction work linked to the Ahmedabad Metro project.
According to the Ahmedabad City Traffic Police, the closure is required to carry out structural strengthening and railing work on the bridge.
The bridge will remain closed from midnight to 5 am on November 3 and again from midnight to 5 am on November 4, 2026. Motorists have been advised to plan their journeys accordingly and use the designated alternative routes during these hours.
