In a major infrastructure boost for the city of Nagpur in Maharashtra, the city is set to be the first in the nation to get a four-level transit intersection, reports Indian Express.
“NHAI has given unconditional clearance to Rs 573-crore proposal. The NHAI nod has thus paved way for construction of country’s first four-layer transport system in Nagpur,” the Maha Metro said in a statement yesterday (5 November).
The stretch currently houses a road and the busy north-south railway track. A 5.3 kilometres long flyover from LIC square to Automotive square in the city is to be built now that the project has been cleared.
The final greenlighting of the project took place after the intervention by Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Nitin Gadkari who is also a Member of Parliament (MP) from the city. It should be noted that NHAI works under the operational and administrative control of the MoRTH.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
