Approved by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH) in 2015, the 64-metres-long four-lane bridge was supposed to be finished by December of this year.
Nagaland’s Public Works Department (PWD) spent a total of Rs 35.81 crore to construct the bridge.
Rio stated that Sanuoru bridge is one of the significant bridges in Nagaland, which connects the main Kohima town to the ‘nerve centre’ of the capital.
