Ahmedabad: Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the ‘Atal Bridge’ here on Saturday. This 300-metre long and 14 metres wide bridge is built across the Sabarmati river for pedestrians and cyclists. 

Soon after the bridge’s inauguration, the prime minister, accompanied by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and state BJP chief C R Paatil, took a stroll on the bridge and waved at people. 

“Atal Bridge not only connects the two banks of Sabarmati river but it is also unique in design and innovation. In its design, the famous kite festival has been kept in mind,” Prime Minister Modi said during the Khadi Utsav event from where he inaugurated the bridge.

The pedestrian bridge is named after the late former prime minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The bridge was a tribute by the local people to former prime minister late Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Modi said.

Meanwhile, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) shared a video of the iconic bridge and wrote: “Our prized possession, the Sabarmati Riverfront, just gets better as we open doors to the Atal Bridge. The modern marvel would be E-Inaugurated, tomorrow 27th August, Saturday by H'ble Shri Narendra Modi Ji.”

The bridge connects the flower garden on the western end of the riverfront and the upcoming arts and culture centre on the eastern end. It also has an eye-catching design and LED lighting.
