The civic body will spend Rs 83 crore on the project, and the tender process for the bridge has also been completed.

As per the information received, the construction of the bridge has been granted a budget of Rs 20 crore by the civic body. The bridge is expected to alleviate traffic congestion in the vicinity of the new circuit house. The traffic authorities have requested the diversion of traffic in order to facilitate the bridge construction. A decision regarding this matter is anticipated within the upcoming week.

The planned flyover possesses several notable features. Firstly, the cost of constructing this bridge amounts to Rs 83 crore. Additionally, a significant portion of Rs 20 crore has been allocated specifically for this year’s budget. In terms of dimensions, the proposed bridge will span a length of 640 meters. Furthermore, the total width of the bridge measures 17.150 metres, while its height reaches 6.90 metres.
