Ludhiana Bridge Completion Awaits Election Results
A new bridge in Ludhiana is almost finished after 12 years of waiting!
It's supposed to help with traffic.
Workers are putting the final touches on it, like painting and adding safety features.
The government wants the Chief Minister to officially open it.
People are already using the bridge even though it's not fully ready, which is a bit risky.
The opening has been delayed until after the local election results are announced.
The bridge was planned a long time ago but faced delays due to government issues.
Now it's almost done, just waiting for its official opening and to be fully safe.
A Rail Over Bridge (ROB) in Ludhiana is nearing completion after 12 years.
Official opening is delayed pending the by-election results.
Final construction and safety work is ongoing.
