The busy routes in Indore have caused numerous problems for commuters like neverending traffic jams leading to accidents, around 35,000 vehicles pass through the Indore bypass every day. And due to the lack of proper intersection connectivity on the route, the risk of accidents increases, leading to traffic snarls affecting the movement of people.
Recently, several other such initiatives were inaugurated and proposed by the state government, last such move was the inauguration of the Pipliyahna flyover which helps more than 1,75,000 commuters to travel with ease every day. Out of the estimated cost of ₹200 crores, ₹79.32 crores will be spent on the MR 10 junction which will be a 1.8 km long elevated road and 1.02 Km flyover at the Rau Circle at ₹47 crores. While the ones on the Ralamandal Intersection on NH-52 and Arjunbaroda Village will cost ₹28 crores each.
On the other hand, the flyover proposed to be constructed in Jhalariya will be a three-layered elevated road, connecting the Indore bypass road at the Jhalariya intersection to the Vijay Nagar area.
