The bridge has been a major demand of the people of the area for the last sixty years, as they are forced to cross the river in country boats to get to the mainland. It will be constructed at a cost of Rs 4.95 crore.
The foundation stone for the bridge
linking Padukone to Maravante across the Sowparnika river was laid near Maharaja Swamy Temple in Maravante. The bridge would
be constructed as a joint project of the department of public works and ports
and inland water transport.
"Padukone is being linked through a bridge to
Maravante. This will not only boost development work in the two villages, but
also the tourism potential of Maravante which has been gifted with a unique
natural beauty.
