November 1.5: The Asian Development Bank (ADB)
and the Government of India on November 15 signed a $500 million
loan to build a 9.8 km long road bridge
across the Ganges River.
The bridge, using state-of-the-art engineering techniques, will be the first of its kind in India. The height and length have been designed to minimize impacts on the river itself and to ensure the bridge will be able to withstand climate-related stresses such as a rise in the water level.
