Gandhinagar: Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated Saurashtra’s longest flyover bridge, constructed at a cost of Rs 226.99 crore in Jamnagar on Monday (November 24).
The bridge stretches across 3,750 m, running from Saat Rasta Circle to the Subhash Chandra Bose statue, and features four approach roads.
