Surat likely to have Gujarat’s first escalator foot over bridge


Surat, 4 May 2012

If everything goes as per the plan, the city of Surat will have Gujarat’s first escalator foot over bridge for public use.

As per the proposal prepared by the SMC, two escalators will come up over Gaurav path and Ring road near Krushi Mangal hall.

Earlier SMC opened two foot over bridges but due to non-function of lift, many times people avoided using it.

The SMC is now planning to give the project of two new foot over bridges to private agency on DBOT(design, built, operate and transfer) basis. Chitra publicity has offered highest bid for this project. The final decision will be made on Saturday.
