Indore Advances Elevated Corridor and Flyover Projects to Ease Traffic
People in a big city called Indore drive many cars and bikes, and some roads are very crowded.
The city government wants to help cars move faster by building roads up in the air called flyovers and elevated corridors.
One new elevated road will be built on a busy street called AB Road, between two places called LIG Square and Navlakha.
Workers have started the first step, which is making strong piles to hold the road up.
The road will come down to the ground at three different spots.
Another new flyover might be built near Radisson Square, where almost two lakh vehicles pass every day.
Experts studied four different ideas and picked a four-lane flyover next to MR-10.
Before building, a special committee and the main office still have to approve the plans.
The new roads are meant to make traffic flow faster and make commuting easier for everyone.
The Public Works Department (PWD) began pile casting work for an elevated corridor between LIG Square and Navlakha on Indore's AB Road.
The proposed elevated corridor will have three arms descending at Geeta Bhavan, Shivaji Vatika, and the Guitar Square area.
The Indore Development Authority (IDA) completed a feasibility study recommending a four-lane flyover parallel to MR-10 at Radisson Square.
Radisson Square handles about 1.78 lakh vehicles daily, and MR-10 traffic is projected to increase by around 20% in the future.
The AB Road project still needs final design clearance from headquarters, while the Radisson Square flyover awaits a Road Safety Committee decision.
