Although the Bahadurpura Bridge works are not completed yet despite grounded several years ago, the GHMC has now embarked on a new flyover project from Zoo Park to Aram Ghar with an outlay of total Rs. 636.80 crore under Strategic Road Development Programme.
According to Superintending Engineer (Projects) South Zone GHMC, Datupant, “Nearly Rs.300 crore has been earmarked for the civil works while the remaining Rs.336.80 will be allocated for land acquisition, compensation, dismantling of structures, shifting of pipes and carrying out electrical works during execution of the project. “If everything moves according to the plan, the flyover project will take a complete share by the year 2023,” he asserted.

“The slew of flyovers coming up at Bahadurpura stretch on a busy National Highway-44, are the part of series of flyovers that would be raise one after another in the days to come to form a complete inner circle around the city and would eventually solve the ever increasing traffic issue in the metropolis,” the official claimed.
The team of GHMC officials today visited the site and unfolded the sketched plans of the proposed project. “We took stock of the soil testing work being taken up on the site and are optimistic about grounding the project soon,” he asserted.
