DPR for Rs 70 Bn Inner Ring Road & Elevated Corridor in Bhubaneswar Soon

The Odisha Government is undertaking major infrastructure projects aimed at alleviating traffic congestion in Bhubaneswar. Inspired by urban planning models from Uttar Pradesh, the state is focusing on elevated road corridors and inner ring road projects. One key initiative is the elevated corridor, which will stretch from Jaydev Vihar to Nandankanan, addressing traffic bottlenecks, especially in the Jayadev Vihar area.

The combined projects, estimated to cost around Rs 70 Billion, are designed to elevate the status of the twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack to 'A' Grade cities. As part of the ambitious plan, a 142-kilometre ring road will be developed to facilitate the lateral expansion of the cities. Key intersections like Kalinga Hospital Square, Chandrasekharpur, Patia, Damana, and Raghunathpur will be connected through the elevated corridor, optimising traffic management in these busy areas. A three-tier road system will also be implemented, with a metro line planned overhead.

The Chief Minister of Odisha has approved the preparation of a Detailed Project Report (DPR) in collaboration with the Bhubaneswar Metro Rail Corporation (BMRC). The projects will feature upgraded road surfaces using Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) at major junctions to ensure smoother traffic flow.

Despite the scale of these developments, urban planning experts have warned that the construction of flyovers and elevated roads alone may not be enough to resolve the city's growing traffic problems. The projects are expected to transform the infrastructure and connectivity of Bhubaneswar, but additional measures may be needed to manage long-term congestion.
