Work to bridge the Doyang River is going on smoothly with around 60 percent of the bridge constructed. The Nagaland Foothill Road Coordination Committee (NFHRCC), which visited the construction site adjacent to Governor’s Camp at Liphanyan village on March 29, informed that the bridge is taking shape without any major hindrances. It was a joint inspection exercise of the NFHRCC and the PWD (R&B) with the team meeting officials of the construction firm – M/S Pukhato Shohe & Sons, which has taken up the project.
Workers are in the midst of laying the deck of the 2-lane RCC beam bridge, which will span 120m on completion. With a projected completion time of 33 months construction began in December 2014. The estimated total cost of the project was set at a little over Rs. 24 crores, 50 percent of which has already been released by the Nagaland government.
The Doyang Bridge will complete the ongoing Nagaland Foothills Road project as one uninterrupted route linking Mon directly with Dimapur without having to take a detour via the roads of Assam.
