Gadkari mentioned blueprint of the eco-tourism project to be raised at the upper top level of the cable bridge. As per the announcement, the project is being planned using modern electronic techniques and technology depicting the Sikh history, especially related to Amritsar and the ten Sikh Gurus. A glass capsule lift will be made available to reach the hologram type attraction. Eateries will also be set up and an attractive landscape provided. Time to reach the tourist place from Amritsar will be a maximum of half an hour. Special importance will be given to the historical narrative of Guru Gobind Singh.
