Work on the bridge over Kanhar river connecting Sanaval to Jharkhand is progressing rapidly

The work of high level bridge on Kanhar river connecting Sanaval area of ​​Balrampur-Ramanujganj district with Jharkhand is going on at a fast pace. The construction of this bridge will provide great relief to about 40 thousand population of 20 villages. People of many villages of Sanaval area go to the district headquarters Garhwa and block headquarters Nagar Utari and Dhurki of Jharkhand located on the other side of the river for shopping and treatment every day. With the opening of this bridge on Kanhar river, the distance of these three cities from Sanaval area will be reduced considerably. The people of the area will get the facility of uninterrupted transportation throughout the year.

The Public Works Department is constructing a high level bridge on the Kanhar river between Dhauli of Ramchandrapur development block of Balrampur-Ramanujganj district and Balchaura of Dhurki block of Garhwa district of Jharkhand at a cost of Rs 15 crore 20 lakh. At present, out of 12 piers and two abutments, work on five piers and one abutment has been completed. Sub-structure work is in progress in the remaining seven piers and one abutment. Super-structure work will also be completed in the next few days. About 50 percent of the work of this bridge of 312 meters length and 8.4 meters width has been completed. Deputy Chief Minister and Public Works Minister Shri Arun Saw has directed the officials to complete the work within the time limit while ensuring full quality in construction. The department has set a target to complete the bridge work by June this year.  

With the construction of a bridge between Dhauli in Chhattisgarh and Balchaura village in Jharkhand on the Kanhar river, many villages of Wadrafnagar and Ramchandrapur tehsil will be directly connected to Jharkhand. This will increase business activities in the area and the travel distance of people going to Garhwa and Nagar Utari daily for shopping, treatment and various works will be reduced by half. Currently, a distance of about 100 km has to be covered to go to Garhwa by road from Dhauli. After the bridge becomes operational, this distance will be reduced to 55 km. People of Sanawal area currently have to travel 70 km to go to Nagar Utari. After the bridge is constructed, this distance will be reduced to half i.e. 35 km. People of Wadrafnagar area currently go to Jharkhand via Ramanujganj and Uttar Pradesh. Once the bridge becomes operational, they will be able to reach Jharkhand directly by covering a very short distance.  

These 20 villages will be benefited by the construction of the bridge

The construction of the bridge between Dhauli and Balchaura will benefit 20 villages of Sanawal area as well as people travelling to Garhwa, Dhurki and Nagar Utari of Jharkhand using this route. Its construction will provide great relief to villages like Dhauli, Kameshwarnagar, Jhara, Kushfar, Semrava, Indravatipur, Barwahi, Dolangi, Oranga, Revatipur, Sundarpur, Surangpan, Kundapan, Piparpan, Dugaru, Pachawal, Trishuli, Silaju, Ucharwa, Anandpur etc.
