A single lane on the Rego Bridge in Amritsar will be operational by December, providing relief to the chronic traffic congestion.
The Rego Bridge, a key crossing over the Sutlej River in Amritsar, has long been a bottleneck for commuters, with multiple lanes closed for repairs and resulting in heavy traffic buildup during peak hours.
Local authorities have announced that one lane of the bridge will be reopened by the end of December, allowing vehicles to move more freely while remaining work continues on the remaining sections.
The partial reopening is expected to reduce queue lengths and travel times for daily commuters, easing the strain on alternative routes that have been overloaded since the closure began.
Officials have urged motorists to follow the revised lane markings and to remain patient as construction work proceeds on the rest of the structure.
The move marks the first tangible step toward fully restoring the bridge’s capacity, which is critical for the city’s traffic network and regional connectivity.
