It includes bulletproof and soundproof barriers throughout, plus extensive plantation along the route," flyover's site manager Anand Kumar said.

Politicking over naming the flyover has picked up pace before its launch.

While JMM and Congress demanded that the flyover be named after former chief minister Shibu Soren. Likewise, the BJP wants the flyover to renamed after a freedom fighter or legendary national figure.
JMM general secretary Vinod Pandey said, "Naming the flyover after Shibu Soren will be a fitting tribute to his struggle for separate Jharkhand. It is the will of the entire state"
BJP spokesperson Pratul Shahdeo said, "Flyover should be named after an icon without any tainted past."
