New Delhi: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has significantly accelerated the development of Uttar Pradesh by building a record number of bridges, which is why he is known as the “Infrastructure Man of India.”

In a bid to further improve connectivity in Uttar Pradesh and make commuting congestion-free, the state government has, in the last 12 months, started construction work on 33 bridges, including 13 railway overbridges.

As a result of the continuous instructions and inspections being done from time to time by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, it is expected that most of these will be completed in 2023, after which traffic connectivity will accelerate further.

The majority of these bridges, including those over the Ganga, Gomti, Sai, Tons, and other rivers, as well as ROBs at railway level crossings, are being constructed in Ayodhya.
