Imphal, September 11 2015 :
Sanjenthong Bridge which was/will be a key link between Imphal West and Imphal East district is unlikely to be completed within the month of October.
Simplex Project Pvt Ltd started constructing the bridge on May 30, 2014 and the target to complete the construction was June 2015 .
Since then, the deadline for completion has been deferred repeatedly.
Now many quarters have started asking whether the bridge can be fully constructed before this year's Manipur Sangai Festival.
On January 7 this year, Chief Secretary PC Lawmkunga went on record that the bridge construction work would be completed by April or May this year.

Two months later in March, Simplex Project Pvt Limited clarified that they would be able to complete the construction work by June.
On March 19 this year, the Chief Minister personally inspected the bridge construction work.
PWD officials who accompanied the Chief Minister assured that the new Sanjenthong bridge would be commissioned on June 6 .
There was some delay in shipping metallic angles needed for the bridge from France.
This has only added to people's suspicion whether the bridge can be completed within the latest deadline.
The four-lane bridge is 22.40 metres wide and 55.80 metres long.
It would have a footpath with a breadth of 5 metres on either side.
The estimated cost of the bridge is Rs 29 crore.
