The Chandigarh administration has approved a significant infrastructure project involving the construction of a high-level bridge over Sukhna Choe, aimed at improving connectivity between Manimajra and Sector-26. This ₹16.63 crore (approximately $2 million USD) project was approved during a meeting chaired by H Rajesh Prasad, the Chief Secretary of Chandigarh. The existing causeway often faces severe congestion and becomes non-operational during monsoon seasons due to flooding, causing traffic disruptions.
