Nagpur: Continuing with the trend of the city getting hi-tech infra, a five-armed
elevated rotary
is taking shape at Ashok Chowk. The rotary is being built as part of the Rs998 crore
Indora to Dighori flyover project
. Two flyovers — Kamal Chowk to Reshimbagh Square and Bhande Plot Square to Dighori — are being constructed as part of the project implemented by
National Highway Authority of India
(NHAI).According to NHAI, the first flyover will be 4km long and will connect to the Ashok Square rotary.
The rotary will have three ramps towards Nandanvan, Ganeshpeth Bus Stand, and GMCH. From the rotary the flyover will continue towards Reshimbagh. The other two arms will be part of the proposed Kamal Square to Reshimbagh Square flyover.This is the second rotary being built in the city. Earlier, NHAI built an elevated rotary during the construction of the five-armed Pardi flyover.
According to NHAI sources, building the elevated rotary and connecting it with the proposed flyover is a complicated task."Since the rotary is an elevated structure, we have to match it with the flyover. To maintain the level of the flyover and elevated rotary, the slope needs to be changed every 20 metres. Because of this, we have built four piers on either side of an existing bridge over the Nag river and are installing smaller spans," said NHAI sources, adding that piers will need to be joined longitudinally, after which cross girders will be installed and slabs will be laid.The work on the complicated structure is currently underway. "We are planning to complete this work before July when rain starts, as it would complicate the work. We have completed more than 70% of the rotary outer beam. Similarly, there will be an inner beam," said NHAI sources, adding that after both outer and inner beams are built, slabs will be laid over the rotary.Sources said that the structure at Pardi is heavy, while this rotary is much lighter. One such rotary was built in Jabalpur, and it was a success.

Soon in Delhi: 20-km signal-free drive to ease travel in key zones
Delhi is poised to get a signal-free flyover corridor with an investment of INR 5000 crore, significantly easing traffic congestion. Approved by NHAI and the central government, this elevated route will revolutionize travel from South Delhi to IGI Airport and Gurugram-Faridabad Road. If all goes as planned, Delhi might soon get a signal-free flyover corridor, which is anticipated to ease traffic congestion in the city. This initiative is in line with the approval from the government, and will see an investment of around INR 5000 crore. Reports add that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the central government have approved this project, and that this new signal-free flyover will change the way people will travel from South Delhi to IGI Airport and Gurugram–Faridabad Road. This elevated, seamless route promises to revolutionize commuter travel across SouthWest Delhi, NCR. Read more: Delhi on heatwave red alert; rainfall likely from this date Key route highlights The corridor will begin near AIIMS, run along Ring Road through Vasant Kunj's Nelson Mandela Marg, and include a 5 km tunnel linking to the Airport Expressway and Dwarka Expressway. From there, it will extend past Mahipalpur and continue toward Gurgaon and the Faridabad Road—effectively offering a parallel alternative to congested NH48. How will this route help commuters Major commute savings: Travel time from South Delhi to IGI Airport is projected to drop to about 20 minutes—a dramatic cut from current snarls. Traffic decongestion: This corridor is expected to relieve pressure on Ring Road, Outer Ring Road, NH48, and the busy Mehrauli–Gurgaon stretch. The project will be executed by NHAI in collaboration with Delhi's PWD. Final alignment and design—a mix of fully elevated segments and tunnels—will be finalised post-DPR, with detailed bids due by late June. This corridor is a key part of a INR 125,000 crore decongestion strategy for Delhi-NCR. Other planned infrastructure includes tunnels (Sarai Kale Khan–IGI), elevated stretches to Faridabad, multiple interchanges, and upgrades to UER-II, Ashram–Badarpur, and ring roads.

Once completed, commuters can look forward to signal-free, swift connectivity across major south-West Delhi travel routes. Delhi's new flyover will signal a modern, efficient commuting future. For residents of South Delhi and Gurgaon, it means less time in traffic, more time where it matters, and smoother journeys to the airport and beyond.

Good news for people going to airport from East Delhi... 8km tunnel to connect Delhi-Meerut Expressway and..., it will reduce travel time by...
Good news for people going to airport from East Delhi... tunnel to connect Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Gyarah Murti, it is... (Picture for representation purpose) In order to provide relief from traffic jams in Delhi and to reduce the traffic load coming from East Delhi or South Delhi to the Ring Road, Pragati Maidan and Lutyens Zone, the Gyaara Murti (Dandi March Statue) located at the Delhi-Meerut Expressway and Sardar Patel Marg T-junction will be connected by a tunnel of about 7-8 km. New plan for relief from traffic jam At the same time, the proposed elevated corridor from near INA to the airport under Barapullah Phase-4 is another important project. The purpose of the flyover construction is to smoothen the traffic to the airport for commuters from Lutyens Delhi and East Delhi. A few days ago, a high-level meeting was held between Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and Delhi government ministers. What is the complete plan of the government During this time, the officials of the ministry presented a plan to decongest Delhi through parts of different national highways and new projects . In the future, the government has planned a 128 km long project, on which an estimated expenditure of Rs 23,850 crore is expected. During the meeting, many traffic problems in Delhi were also mentioned, one of which was mentioned in front of the Subroto Park police post near Dhaula Kuan. NHAI has shifted the police post from here and demanded 1300 square meters of land so that a 3-lane wide service lane can be built to go towards Narayana.

For tunnel road tech, BBMP engineers visit Vizag, set to land in Kashmir next
BENGALURU: A team from the engineers' wing of BBMP has started visiting other Indian cities where tunnel road projects are being executed. This is to assess and adopt the best practices to execute the first phase of the 18-km-long tunnel road in Bengaluru. The cabinet on June 5, 2025 approved the construction of the north-south tunnel road corridor under the Build-Own-Operate-Transfer (BOOT) model. Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru in-charge minister DK Shivakumar has been insisting on the project, claiming that it will decongest the city. The first phase will be taken up at a cost of Rs 17,000 crore. The team recently visited Visakhapatnam to study the New Australian Tunnelling Method (NATM) that is being used by the NHAI to build the 464-km tunnel road reaching Raipur. The BBMP team is going next to Kashmir to understand the tunnel projects there. 'We went to Vizag to understand NATM, the land required and the time it takes as compared to other regular methods. The existing technology used by BMRCL cannot be adopted for the road project as the diameter of the tunnel boring machine for the Metro rail project is 5.6 metre, while the road project requires at least 14.6 metre,' BBMP Chief Engineer BS Prahalad told TNIE. Understanding different models is essential when executing the project in Bengaluru, where land acquisition and cost is a concern, he said. 'We need to understand each of the tunnelling methods before coming to a conclusion. So far nothing has been finalised,' he added. The visits and the preparatory work is going on at a time when citizens and experts have demanded that the project be dropped and the public transport system be strengthened. They pointed out that what is being done in other cities cannot be replicated here without a thorough analysis. BBMP sources said that instead of studying the technology, the engineering team should look at the feasibility and requirements of other cities and compare them to Bengaluru. But that is not being done, they added. Prof Ashish Verma, a mobility expert from IISc, said, 'Studies and various models prepared by us have shown that public transport is better when compared to the tunnel road. It is not a feasible project in the long run.'
