Ahmedabad, 22 October 2013

A quick look at some of the major developmental initiatives in city of Ahmedabad:

The longest flyover

The tender for construction of Rs. 234 crore 6 lane flyover connecting Vijay char rasta and Drive-in theater will be issued within next one month. The 2.65 km long flyover with 4 intermediate entries at Gurukul, Manavmandir, Helmet junction and Vijay cross roads will be the longest one in Amdavad.

Concrete road

Unlike Mumbai, the city of Ahmedabad has asphalt roads, but now the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation has taken a decision to construct a 3.25 km long concrete road stretch connecting Pakwan junction and Sindhu Bhavanto Sardar Patel ring road. A 300 mm diameter pipe will be laid underneath the concrete roads with a junction at every 50 meters to avoid digging work by various departments.

International sports complex

Construction of a new international level sports complex will kick off soon at Aabad dairy land near Kankaria lake front. Pre-construction activities are already on. More than 100 old trees are uprooted to make a way for construction of stadium.

A three-storeyed new auditorium

The AMC has taken a decision to build a new three-storeyed auditorium behind Rajpath club. This new 1250 seating capacity hall will be constructed at an estimated cost of Rs. 36.76 crore over 17155 sqm plot. The complex will have one exhibition hall, one dining and conference hall and 2 auditoriums with basement parking.
