Nagpur : The demolition of ‘design disaster’ Railway Station Over-Bridge and improvement of traffic on this road, has been cleared by Union Minister for Road Transport and Shipping Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday.
The design was discussed in the high-level meeting held at NMC’s Town Hall. The eyesore fly-over has created more mess on this road and Gadkari had publicly promised to demolish it.
The proposed over-bridge and other roads will clear all the bottlenecks on this important road. It will also improve the traffic condition over Ram Jhula and provide seamless entry to railway station. The issue of shop owners situated in front of Railway station has also been addressed. Now, only the issue of transfer of land is pending and it will be cleared in next couple of days.
About rehabilitation demand of shop owners of Tekadi flyover, Gadkari said, District Collector Ashwin Mudgal should take lead in acquisition of Madhya Pradesh State Transport corporation’s land and Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation’s land for the construction of a shopping complex accommodating all the shopkeepers beneath Railway Station Flyover.
As per this plan, the Nagpur Metro has proposed a parallel road beneath railway track near Loha Pul. They have also proposed a shopping mall connected with the railway platform so that the passengers would come out from that opening. This will give assured customers to the shop owners. The Ram Jhula flyover will be extended upto Parvana Bhavan to ease the traffic congestion. The separate road will be provided for railway passengers from this road so that the present traffic chaos would become a passé. A separate parallel road will be constructed for devotees to visit Tekadi Ganesh Mandir.
Nagpur Metro has also proposed beautification of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose statue and Tulsidas statue situated at Manas Square. This new concept will clear the present horrifying traffic situation.
