The Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar corridor received a major infrastructure upgrade on Sunday as Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel inaugurated a newly constructed cable-stayed flyover at Bhat Char Rasta.
Constructed at a cost of ₹175 crore, the 1.48-km flyover has been built to ease traffic congestion and improve connectivity between Gandhinagar and Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport.
The project has been jointly funded by the Gujarat government and the Ahmedabad Urban Development Authority (AUDA). It is expected to benefit nearly two lakh commuters who travel through Bhat Circle daily, an intersection that frequently witnesses heavy traffic congestion.
To improve traffic flow at the junction, six dedicated service roads have also been developed. These roads are intended to facilitate smoother movement of vehicles travelling towards the S.P. Ring Road, Vadodara and Surat.
In addition to the flyover, the existing six-lane bridge over the Narmada Main Canal between Koba Circle and Bhat Circle will be expanded into a 12-lane bridge. The widening project, backed by an allocation of ₹48 crore, will add three parallel lanes on both sides to accommodate increasing traffic demand along the rapidly developing Ahmedabad-Gandhinagar corridor.
The combined projects are aimed at improving urban mobility, reducing travel time and strengthening road connectivity between the twin cities.
