During the inauguration ceremony presided over by Masan War, who is the secretary of the village, it was informed that the bridge will help farmers cross the river during monsoons.

The cost of laying the bridge is Rs. 65 lakh, and it crosses the river at Umdalong, which is a fish sanctuary. Money for its construction was borne by the Thadlaskein C&RD Block, West Jaiñtia Hills, and the Village Dorbar, and the works started on February 2, 2016, but got delayed due to the COVID pandemic.

Phasmon Dkhar congratulated the Waheh Chnong for being steadfast in following up with its construction and urged the villagers to take care of the bridge, which will soon be a tourist attraction.
