Amritsar, June 28, 2026: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann on Sunday gave a major gift to the residents of the holy city of Amritsar by dedicating the newly constructed flyover at the junction of Sultanwind Bypass and Sultanwind Link Road to the people. Built to ease long-standing traffic congestion and ensure seamless connectivity for over two lakh devotees visiting Sri Amritsar Sahib every day, the project has been completed by saving ₹11.52 crore of public money through a transparent system. 
Interacting with the media after dedicating the project, CM Bhagwant Singh Mann said, “Every day, more than two lakh devotees visit Sri Darbar Sahib and other historic and religious places in this sacred city. To make the journey of devotees more convenient and comfortable, our government is continuously strengthening the city’s infrastructure. Today, we have dedicated the newly constructed flyover at the junction of Sultanwind Bypass and Sultanwind Link Road to the people.”
Expressing gratitude to the Almighty, the Chief Minister said, “I am grateful to the Almighty for blessing me with the opportunity to serve this sacred city by dedicating this ambitious project, which will act as a catalyst in resolving the traffic problem.”
The Chief Minister said, “Due to heavy traffic at the junction of Sultanwind Link Road on Tarn Taran Road near Tara Wala Bridge, commuters, local residents and pilgrims coming from outside have long been facing severe traffic congestion. This flyover will significantly improve traffic movement in the city and save the valuable time of thousands of people every day.”
CM Bhagwant Singh Mann stated, “I am pleased that this project was executed on a war footing and completed ahead of schedule so that devotees visiting this holy city would not face any inconvenience.”
Highlighting the transparent execution of the project, the Chief Minister noted, “Although the Punjab Government had accorded administrative approval of ₹34.20 crore for this project, it has been successfully completed at a cost of only ₹22.68 crore, resulting in savings of ₹11.52 crore of public money. The total length of the project, including the approach roads, is 985 metres.”
The Chief Minister said, “The flyover itself is 725 metres long and 14 metres wide. Service roads, each measuring 5.50 metres in width, have been constructed on both sides of the flyover to facilitate the smooth movement of local traffic.”
Emphasising the project’s environmental features, he pointed out, “This is an eco-friendly project. In addition to RCC drains for stormwater disposal, rainwater harvesting wells have been incorporated into the design. This reflects the firm commitment of the state government towards environmental sustainability.”
The Chief Minister said, “The state government is using Artificial Intelligence to save taxpayers’ money. We are constructing more than 43,000 kilometres of roads, and contractors have been made responsible for their maintenance. Every single penny of the state exchequer is being optimally utilised for the welfare of the people.”
