Facilities and Attractions at the Sabarmati Riverfront
The cultural space here hosts various events, competitions, and other local festivities. Some of the frequent markets here include the Local Sunday Market (Riverfront Market) and the Ravivari market which is found towards the east of the waterfront. There are washroom facilities as well.
Besides, the layout ensures elevator and stairway facilities at even points alongside bridge pathways that cross over the river. These cross bridges help connect the new city to the old Ahmedabad settlement. This lush green surrounding of the Sabarmati Riverfront also cites boating options. The riverfront also has a view of a nearby Dhobi Ghat, a space for washermen.
History of the Sabarmati Riverfront
This led to the plan of constructing a riverfront, featured under the Sabarmati Riverfront Development Project, led by Bernard Kohn, a French architect. Thus the riverfront was built around river Sabarmati by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) in 1997. However, the project so far covered only 10.9 kilometres of the river line. A renovation in 2003 extended the riverfront to 11.25 km, which was further pushed to 11.5 km in 2012.
