Bhopal BRTS Corridor DPR Removal in 2 Days

03 Jan 2024 CW Team

In Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, preparations are underway to finalise the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the removal of the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) corridor. The completion of the DPR is expected within the next two days, and it will be subject to approval before the BMC (Bhopal Municipal Corporation) commissioner.

The decision to remove the BRTS corridor comes as part of urban planning and infrastructure adjustments to enhance the city's transit system. Once the DPR is finalised and receives approval, the process of dismantling the existing BRTS corridor will commence.

The removal of the BRTS corridor is a significant development that aims to streamline transportation in Bhopal, potentially paving the way for alternative and more efficient transit solutions. The city's civic authorities are actively involved in assessing and implementing measures that contribute to improved urban mobility and address the evolving needs of the growing population.

As the DPR finalisation nears completion, it marks a crucial step in the execution of the plan to replace or reconfigure the BRTS corridor. The decision reflects the commitment of local authorities to adapt and optimise urban infrastructure, aligning it with the city's current and future transportation requirements.
