Raipur, October 21, 2026

As per the instructions of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, the construction work of bridges and culverts is being carried forward rapidly to strengthen road connectivity in Jashpur district and expand transportation facilities in remote rural areas. In this sequence, a high-level bridge is being constructed at Marga Nala on Jashpur-Sanna road at a cost of Rs 4 crore 52 lakh. The construction of this bridge will further facilitate road connectivity of Jashpur district towards Surguja, Surajpur and Balrampur districts. Along with this, local citizens, farmers, students and other travelers will benefit from safe and convenient transportation.

For a long time, people have faced difficulties commuting due to the narrow culvert currently located over the Marga drain. The narrow width of the culvert impacted vehicular movement and often led to traffic disruptions. This was particularly problematic for large vehicles. To address these problems, construction of a high-level bridge is being rapidly underway on the instructions of Chief Minister Shri Sai. Its completion will facilitate vehicular movement and strengthen road safety.

Road connectivity from Jashpur to other districts of Surguja division will improve.

The Jashpur-Sanna road is part of the region’s vital road network. It connects the Jashpur district headquarters with roads leading to Surguja, Surajpur, and Balrampur districts. The construction of a high-level bridge over the Marga Nala will facilitate travel between these districts and strengthen regional connectivity.

The bridge’s construction will facilitate transportation for education, health care, business, and other essential needs for citizens in the surrounding rural areas. Farmers will also be able to transport their agricultural produce to market and traders will be able to transport their goods. This is expected to boost local economic activity.

Rs 109 crore approved for construction of 22 high level bridges in the district

Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, special priority is being given to the development of road and bridge infrastructure in Jashpur district. Approximately ₹109 crore has been approved for the construction of 22 high-level bridges to improve transportation facilities in various areas of the district. The construction of these bridges will provide better road connectivity to rural and remote areas and relieve people from transportation difficulties.

In many rural areas of Jashpur district, transportation is hampered by rivers and streams, especially during the rainy season. When water levels rise, crossing small culverts and low-lying roads becomes difficult. The construction of high-level bridges in such locations will help develop safe and smooth transportation throughout the year. This will facilitate access from remote villages to the district headquarters and other major locations.

Rural development and economic activities will gain momentum

The construction of high-level bridges in the district is not only about improving transportation facilities, but is also expected to accelerate the social and economic development of rural areas. Improved road connectivity will facilitate farmers in transporting their produce to market, students in commuting to educational institutions, and patients in accessing healthcare facilities.

Following the instructions of Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai, efforts are being made to connect remote rural and tribal areas with better transportation facilities by accelerating road and bridge construction. The high-level bridge under construction over Marga Nala is an important initiative in this direction.

The residents of the area expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Shri Sai.

The progress of the construction of the high-level bridge over the Marga Nala has excited residents. Villagers, who have long faced transportation difficulties due to the narrow culvert, are hopeful that the construction of the new bridge will resolve their problems and make travel safer and more convenient.

The residents of the area have expressed their gratitude to Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai for the construction of a high-level bridge on Marga Nala at a cost of Rs 4.52 crore and for expanding road connectivity facilities in the district.
