The Sabarmati Riverfront project covers an 11-kilometer stretch of the riverbank.
The development involved the relocation and rehabilitation of over 10,000 families living in slums along the riverbanks prior to construction.
The riverbed is maintained through a complex system of gates at the Vasna Barrage to regulate water levels year-round.
The park utilizes a dedicated underground utility tunnel system to avoid frequent road excavations for maintenance.
Riverfront Park is a central section of the Sabarmati Riverfront development project in Ahmedabad, designed to reclaim land along the riverbanks for public recreational use. The park features multi-level promenades that separate pedestrian walkways from vehicular traffic on the adjacent Riverfront Road. It includes landscaped gardens, children's play areas, and seating arrangements integrated into the riverbank topography. The project was conceived to mitigate flood risks while providing urban green space for the city. Its construction involved the creation of retaining walls and embankments along both sides of the Sabarmati River. The site serves as a connective corridor between various bridges crossing the river in the Dudheshwar area.
