the modern facilities imported from European countries. It has the 

provision for local vehicles to use smart cards and automatic classification of vehicles. Adequate lighting and safety systems are installed in the toll plaza with Rigid Pavement (Pavement Quality concrete) from Ch: 94.775 to Ch: 95.118.

Landscaping

Landscape treatment has been done through planting of trees at appropriate locations. Shrubs of low height are planted in the median of project section.

Traffic Management

Constructing the flyover without disturbing the traffic movement was the critical task. A survey carried outduring construction period indicated that there was an increase in the average flow of traffic when compared to the flow before commencement of the project. A large number of heterogeneous traffic ranging from bullock carts, hand pulled rickshaws to heavy industrial vehicles at all hours made it compulsory to have a well developed traffic management plan. Traffic Management system devised and implemented by L&T in this project is one of the biggest achievements. This not only ensured a safe and smooth movement of traffic, but also won the hearts of the people. General public, local administrators and the traffic police complimented all the efforts of L&T.

Project Significance

Strategically located, this flyover serves as a transportation link and enhances all-round development in industrial, residential and commercial zones of the City.Thanks largely to impeccable planning and advanced construction techniques, L&T has been able to complete this unique and landmark urban infrastructure  project in a record time of 28 months.
