Vehicles from the Fire Department will be utilised for painting the higher sections of the bridge as one of the two vehicles deployed for the purpose broke down today, the AE said.
Electrical fittings for the bridge are being carried on presently by the Electricity Department and blacktopping works for the base of the bridge will begin tonight.
Minor defects have been detected on the sides of the bridge which will be corrected immediately after the end of the Sangai Festival, he said.
The bridge will be opened to both heavy and light vehicles after completion.
The body of the bridge is made mostly out of metal.
Commenting on the delayed completion of the work, the AE said frequent economic blockades and bandhs in the State hampered the pace of the construction.
Over two months were also wasted in the recent turmoil, he added.
"The people had raised doubts on whether or not the bridge will be completed before the Sangai Festival.
Hopefully now, the bridge will be inaugurated and opened to the public before the festival," Irom Irabot said.
