Nagpur: The detailed project report (DPR) of Nagpur Railway Station Road makeover is ready and the cost is Rs 232 crore. Tenders for re-engineering of Manas Square and Jaistambh Square and demolition of station road flyover have been floated.
The re-engineering work will begin shortly. Providing details of the project, MahaMetro director (project) Mahesh Kumar said the land belonging to Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC), Madhya Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (MPSRTC) Central Railways and revenue department will be acquired.
“All the 172 shopkeepers under the station road flyover will be provided shops on the ground floor in a five-storied building. The first and second floor will have parking for 400 cars and 400 two-wheelers. The top two floors will have more shops, budget hotels, etc,” he added.
The parking will be connected to the railway station by a foot overbridge. The people coming to the ground floor shops will also park their vehicles there. “We will start with re-engineering of Manas Square and Jaistambh Square. A proposal has been submitted to Central Railways for construction of another railway underbridge (RUB) beside Loha Pul,”
Kumar further said. Kumar made it clear that the flyover will be demolished only after the land for rehabilitating the shopkeepers had been acquired. He refused to give a time frame for completion of the project, saying that it would depend on land acquisition. MahaMetro also needs defence land for widening the station road.
The flyover will be demolished and replaced by a six-lane road. A flyover will constructed on Kingsway so that people using the Ramjhula do not face traffic congestion. A road will be built under the flyover so that Ramjhula users can reach the railway station.
