Vadodara, 28 January 2012
The city of Vadodara will get a new Lalbag flyover this Monday. It has been named as Shriman Maharaja Sayajirao Gaikwad third. This is one project that citizens of the southern parts of the city have been following very eagerly.
Rs 51 crore Lalbag bridge will be opened for public by state urban development minister Shri Nitinbhai Patel. Two ends of Manjalpur and Kashi Vishwanath mandir will be two way, while Vishwamitri railway station and Pratapnagar ends will remain one way. The bridge is the first of its kind project taken up by the civic body with approaches to multiple directions. It has four approaches towards Pratapnagar, Vishwamitri Road, Rajmahal Road and Manjalpur and two ‘Y’ junctions to distribute the traffic going towards different directions.
Construction of this railway over bridge, as per disclosures made by the Vadodara Municipal Corporation to JnNURM began in February 2009 and a deadline of January 2011 was set. However, this had to be revised and later it was set for March 2011 completion.
In another development, Vadodara Urban Development Authority(VUDA) has planned two six lane ring roads for the city. While 90 meter wide ring road will be 63 kilometer long, the 75 meter wide ring road will be 42 km long.
The first ring road to be constructed will be a 42 km one. It will start from Alamgir and will pass through Ratanpur, Shankarpura, Manpura, Umeta, Sukhlipura, Dumad and Dhanora. Construction of several over bridges is planned at railway crossing, Vishwamitri river and express way junction.
The second ring road will pass through national highway no 8, Dodaka, Fajalpur, Sherkhi, Sangma, Sokhda-Khurd, Patod, Chansad, Vadasla, Alhadpura, Pavlepur, NImeta, Bhavpura, Bhaniara, Asoj and Sokhda.
