Ahmedabad: Construction of the flyover at Vadaj Junction in the city’s West Zone is progressing, with a key phase of the project currently under way. The launch of a 41-metre-long girder for the span between piers PG-1 and GP-3 on the carriageway towards Gandhi Ashram began on the night of July 3.

The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) had set a two-day deadline for the operation. According to the civic body, the girder launching work is expected to be completed by the night of July 5.
