In a bid to boost connectivity for Gajoldoba Tourist Hub, the West Bengal government has decided to construct a bridge directly connecting the place with Siliguri in the north Bengal. Moreover, with construction of the bridge, a direct connection with National Highway 31 from Siliguri will also become possible. Currently there is a barrage at Gajoldoba and one has to take the road on the barrage, to reach the tourist spot, which prompted the state government to take the step of constructing the bridge. There is a canal that runs from the barrage to the Teesta river and the bridge will be constructed across the canal. Though the bridge will not be too long in length, it will be quite crucial in terms of establishing a connection between the two districts of Siliguri and Jalpaiguri, as the canal runs between the two in that stretch. Besides constructing the bridge, a road of around 7 km will also be constructed from the bridge in the Jalpaiguri side up to Otlabari, where it will connect with National Highway 31, said an official spokesperson.
