Last hurdle cleared for UT's first-ever flyover, tendering in a week
1 2 Chandigarh: After years of delays, legal hurdles, and bureaucratic back-and-forth, Chandigarh's first-ever flyover is finally ready to take off. The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) has officially approved a revised financial allocation of Rs 240 crore for the ambitious flyover-rotary-underpass project at the bustling Industrial Area rotary on NH-5. In a high-level meeting chaired by the Secretary, Road Transport and Highways, and attended by representatives from NITI Aayog, the Department of Legal Affairs, and the Department of Economic Affairs, the project received long-awaited administrative clearance. "After the issuance of the minutes of the meeting of the committee, the process for tendering will be initiated, which is expected to be by next week. The tendering process will take another two to three months for completion. Concurrently, a detailed traffic diversion plan will be prepared for the project. After work allotment, the construction will start," said a senior UT official. The project was first conceptualised in 2018. The ministry approved the project with an allocation of Rs 183 crore in February 2019. After the tendering process, the winning bid for the project completion was Rs 137 crore. UT issued a letter of award (LOA) on November 19, 2019. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Online USA MBA Courses Might Surprise You MBA Courses in USA | Search Ads Undo However, acting on a public interest litigation (PIL) regarding the cutting of trees for the project, the Punjab & Haryana High Court granted a stay on the project on November 20, 2019. On April 30, 2024, the HC dismissed the PIL, paving the way for the construction of the flyover. A meeting was called on June 12, 2024, in Transport Bhawan, New Delhi, to decide the further course of action. In the meeting, it was decided, keeping in view the substantial gap since the issuance of the LOA, that the UT engineering department should submit the revised cost estimate at the earliest, along with revised phasing of expenditure. In May this year, MoRTH decided that for the Industrial Area flyover, a fresh tender will be called. "Since there has been a significant time gap since the award of work, it would be prudent to re-invite the bid and explore the current market response. As regards the cost towards shifting of public health utilities now included, MoRTH asked the Chandigarh Administration to deposit it with the ministry." A UT official said, "Rs 240 crore is to be funded by the ministry, while around Rs 40 crore is to be borne by the UT (for relocating underground utilities). " The Industrial Area rotary is one of the busiest junctions in the city. The 1.6 km long flyover was planned to decongest the rotary. The flyover is planned to start near the Hallomajra Chowk and end near the GMCH-32 rotary.
