	~~One~~ of the ~~attractions~~ of Ahmedabad ~~City~~, ~~the Patang~~ [[~~List of revolving restaurants~~\|~~Revolving Restaurant~~]] ~~is situated near~~ Nehru Bridge on ~~the banks~~ of Sabarmati River.		== History ==
			Nehru Bridge was constructed in the early 1960s. It serves as a major crossing of the Sabarmati River in Ahmedabad. The bridge's foundation stone was laid in 1956 by then [[Chief Minister of Maharashtra\|Bombay Chief Minister]] [[Morarji Desai]], and it was officially inaugurated around 1962 by [[Prime Minister of India\|Prime Minister]] [[Jawaharlal Nehru]].<ref name="Extend">{{Cite web \|title=Nehru bridge in Ahmedabad to be hydraulically lifted \|url=https://www.constructionworld.in/transport-infrastructure/highways-and-roads-infrastructure/nehru-bridge-in-ahmedabad-to-be-hydraulically-lifted/26196 \|access-date=2025-07-16 \|website=www.constructionworld.in \|language=en}}</ref> It was designed to connect the older city of [[Ahmedabad]] with the expanding western areas, it complemented earlier crossings like [[Ellis Bridge\|Ellis]] and Gandhi Bridges, establishing itself as a vital component of Ahmedabad.s road network.<ref name="Tourism">{{Cite web \|title=Nehru Bridge Ahmedabad (History, Facts, Images & Location) - Ahmedabad Tourism \|url=https://ahmedabadtourism.in/nehru-bridge-ahmedabad \|access-date=2025-07-16 \|website=ahmedabadtourism.in}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book \|url=https://www.google.co.in/books/edition/Water_and_Energy_International/uSfmufoDNsIC \|title=Water and Energy International \|date=2010 \|publisher=Central Board of Irrigation and Power \|page=70 \|language=en}}</ref>
