The work “Development of existing 2-lane pavement including strengthening of NH 36 from km 160/000 km to 166/800 in Dimapur city portion in the state of Nagaland on Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode” was constructed by Naagaamii Infratech Pvt. Ltd. The dimensions of both the bridges are estimated to be 12 metres long and 7 metres wide.
As per the project manager, the two minor bridges are yet to be open for traffic and to the public, as both the bridges are currently in the curing period for one month and another one week for safety reasons.

“Just minor touch-ups are remaining, including bitumen work for a few metres between the two bridges, which can happen only after the cooling period of the two minor bridges,” he said.
