Assam’s bamboo foot over bridge is a panorama of sustainable design
Recently inaugurated bamboo foot over bridge built at Khanapara in the city of Guwahati manifests the optimum utilisation of the rich natural resources of the region.
Apart from providing a means to conveniently traversing across the two sides of the bridge which is no less than a treat to the eyes of passerby, the trestle of bamboo may pave the way for architects to integrate sustainable designs which reflect the importance of bamboo and its diversity prevalent in Assam. The concept of making a bridge in serenity with nature has been lauded by the environmentalists and locals.
Constructed at Khanapara it serves as an entry landmark to the city with the sign saying ‘Welcome to Guwahati’, the bridge glistens in the glory of the moon night reminding everyone the beauty of structures made in harmony with nature.
