    Solution

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated a 1. 4- kilometer long four- lane bridge over the river Narmada in Bharuch, Gujarat in 2017. It is the longest 'extradosed' cable- stayed bridge in the country. The cable- stayed bridge eases the traffic flow on the Ahmedabad- Mumbai National Highway which is considered to be one of the busiest in India. The bridge was built by Larsen and Toubro as a part of Rs 379 crore 6 laning project of the NHAI. Recent NEWS: •     Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari inaugurated the first phase of the New Zuari Bridge across River Zuari connecting Bambolim in North Goa to Verna junction in South Goa. •     Located on NH- 17/ NH- 66 on Panjim- Mangalore section in the state of Goa, the bridge will reduce the travel time between North and South Goa by minimizing the traffic blockades between the Bambolim- Agasaim- Cortalim- Sancoale to Verna Junction. It is the second largest cable stayed bridge in the country.
