An additional landmark in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Riverfront, the pedestrian-only Atal Bridge, which bears the name of the late Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, is scheduled for opening by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to a release, “This bridge would give connectivity to multi-level parking lots and various public developments on East and West Bank from plaza between Flower Park and Event Ground at West Bank to projected Art / Cultural / Exhibition Centre on East Bank.”
