Rajkot, 7 March 2013

Gujarat Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi will dedicate a new triangle over bridge on Gondal-Mavdi road. The bridge has been named as ‘Swami Vivekananda over bridge’. It has been constructed by Rajkot Municipal Corporation.

Construction of this bridge began in 2008. Due to lack of permissions from Railway the construction work took four years instead of two.

Rs 58.44 crore bridge is 1129.81 meter long and 16.50 meter wide. It has total 37 spans..

First-of-its-kind in Saurashtra region, the triangular overbridge conceptualised under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission will ease traffic chaos on the busy Gondal Road.

Commuters using Gondal Road are held up for long durations due to railway crossing. The flyover will also connect Mavdi Road, where another railway crossing is situated. The project was sanctioned in view of level crossings on broad gauge Rajkot-Veraval railway line along Gondal Road and Mavdi Road as part of city development plan.

Of the total project cost, 50 per cent is grant from Government of India while 30 and 20 per cents contributions are by the state government and RMC.
