The Pipliyahana Flyover in the city of Indore is all set to pave the way for an easier and faster commute to the locals. As per reports, the Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister will inaugurate this brand new overhead road on January 6. Movement of traffic will be allowed on the flyover immediately after the inauguration ceremony, reported a district development official.
What’s the news?
The Pipliyahana flyover is a 750-meter long, 24-meter wide- 6 lane road, built by the Indore Development Authority to ease the traffic, by de-congesting vehicular movement between the Pipliyahana and Shivaji Vatika squares. As per reports, an average of 1.05 vehicles used to route through Pipliyahana square in 2018, when the project started.
Delayed due to multiple reasons, this ₹36 crore flyover was supposed to be inaugurated on former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s birthday on December 25, 2020, however, the event got postponed. The flyover will now be inaugurated on January 6, 2021.
