Asia’s longest flyover in Nagpur unveiled by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari

In a ground-breaking moment for infrastructure, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated Asia's longest double-decker flyover, which also features the continent's first four-tier structure.

The engineering marvel near Gaddigodam Gurudwara on National Highway, integrates four different levels of transit, with a Metro line at the top, followed by a flyover, a railway track beneath it, and finally, a road at the base at a single location.

The 5.6 km double-decker Kamptee Road flyover from LIC Square to Automotive Square, constructed by Maha Metro and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) at a cost of Rs.5.73 billion now surpasses the earlier record held by Nagpur's 3.14 km Wardha Road flyover.

Gadkari highlighted the potential of adopting ultra-reinforced concrete technology, which is widely used in Singapore and Malaysia, for upcoming infrastructure projects. He emphasised that NHAI has invested between Rs13 billion and Rs14 billion in Nagpur's three major flyovers – Kamptee Road, Wardha Road and Pardi.

The minister also lauded Nagpur Metro for setting a new benchmark in Metro construction, achieving costs of Rs.3.5 billion per km, which is significantly lower than those in other Indian cities. This flyover stands as a testament to modern engineering, blending innovation and functionality to address the growing needs of urban transit.
