The Bogibeel bridge was first sanction on January 22, 1997 under the H D Devegowda government, and the then Prime Minister had laid the foundation stone.
However, construction did not begin until PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee inaugurated the project in 2002.
In 2007, the bridge was given the status of a national project, and it was slated to be completed by 2009. However, it faced several delays.
