Excerpt from Wikipedia
Atal Setu (Basohli) near Pathankot is a 592 mt long cable-stayed bridge on the Ravi river commissioned to nation on 24 December 2015 by former Defence Minister Manohar Parrikkar. The bridge is situated on Dunera(Pathankot) to Basohli road and built to improve connectivity among three states of India- Punjab, Jammu and Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh. This bridge is first of its kind in North India and fourth of its kind in nation. The other such three bridges are in Mumbai(Bandra-Worli sealink), Allahabad(Naini) and Kolkata(Hoogly).
IIT New Delhi approved the design of this bridge and the foundation stone was laid in May 2011 by UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi. The bridge was designed by Canadian consultant, McElhanney Consulting Services Ltd. (formerly Infinity Engineering Ltd.). The bridge is constructed by the Border Roads Organization, IRCON, Infinity and SP Singla Constructions Pvt Limited. The bridge is named after former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and dedicated to the nation one day before his birthday.
