Updated: Aug 11th, 2024


In a bid to address the growing traffic concerns and ensure pedestrian safety, the Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) and the National Highways Authority have decided to construct five foot over bridges on SG Highway at a cost of ₹ 20 crore. This decision was taken during a road safety meeting chaired by the District Collector.

The foot over bridges will be built at strategic locations including Gota, Thaltej, near Grand Bhagwati Hotel, Rajpath Club, and Vaishnodevi to prevent accidents while crossing the busy highway. The construction work is slated to commence this year.

Additionally, the meeting also discussed plans to create parking facilities for around 80-100 vehicles on Sardar Patel Ring Road. To further enhance road safety, it was decided to install black spot signboards and markings at accident-prone areas to alert pedestrians about potential hazards.

These initiatives aim to reduce the number of accidents and provide a safer environment for motorists and pedestrians.
