Foundatio stone
for new bridge
The foundation stone for the new bridge at Mharachikond-Junaswada will be laid by Chief Minister Laximikant Parsekar on Sunday at 4 pm.
The existing Portuguese-era bridge will be demolished and a new bridge will be built at a cost of Rs 2 crore.
“This bridge had become weak and had posed a danger, so the government decided to reconstruct it,” said Parsekar.
