Bhubaneswar: The Centre has approved the 6-laning of Palasuni bridge on National Highway (NH)-16 in Odisha capital.
This was revealed by Bhubaneswar MP Aparajita Sarangi today.

Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has given the in-principle approval for the widening of the existing bridge over Gangua nullah at Palasuni in Bhubaneswar to 6-lane, said Sarangi.
