Ahmedabad's 4.03 Km 6-Lane Overbridge from Karnavati to Sarkhej-Sanand Chowkdi Inaugurated, Set to Ease Traffic for 2 Lakh Motorists Daily

The 4.03-km Karnavati to Sarkhej-Sanand Chowkdi elevated corridor on SG Highway was inaugurated by Union Home Minister Amit Shah and opened to the public, providing a new route for commuters travelling between Karnavati, Sarkhej-Sanand Chowkdi and Gandhinagar.

The newly opened corridor is expected to ease congestion at some of the city's busiest junctions, including YMCA, Prahladnagar and Karnavati Club, benefiting an estimated 1.5 lakh to 2 lakh motorists who use the stretch daily.

Three Ramps to Improve Connectivity

The corridor has been designed to provide multiple entry and exit points for motorists travelling in both directions.

Vehicles travelling from Karnavati towards Sarkhej-Sanand Chowkdi can access the elevated road through the ISKCON Bridge. Three exit ramps allow commuters to descend towards Karnavati, Honest Cross Road in Prahladnagar and YMCA.

For motorists travelling from Sarkhej-Sanand Chowkdi towards Karnavati, entry ramps have been constructed near YMCA Cross Road, Honest Cross Road in Prahladnagar and Karnavati.

The arrangement is expected to reduce traffic pressure at the YMCA, Prahladnagar and Karnavati Club junctions, where commuters frequently face congestion.

Inverted T Design Keeps Road Below Open

A key feature of the corridor is its inverted T-shaped design. The elevated structure stands on single pillars rather than conventional wider support structures.

This design leaves the roads beneath the bridge largely unobstructed, allowing traffic to move along both sides without significant interference from the elevated structure.

With the corridor now operational, commuters travelling between Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar are expected to benefit from smoother movement and reduced waiting times at major junctions along the route.
