Industrial area flyover project to be built in Chandigarh

The proposed industrial area flyover project, which is delayed, will fall on the proposed Metro Corridor-2. Recently, the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) has suggested certain modifications and given permission to construct the project. There were some concerns as to how it would impact the proposed Metro line as the corridor runs along the Vikas-Purva Marg axis, crossing the Industrial Area junction, and onward to Transport Chowk, where it connects with Corridor-1, lying on the Mullanpur-Madhya Marg-Panchkula axis. According to sources, it was reported that the engineering department of the UT administration had consulted RITES regarding the issue. RITES stated that the flyover project would not have any impact on the Metro corridor. It was further stated by sources that RITES had recommended some changes in the technical specifications, which could be easily included in the flyover project. The Punjab and Haryana high court recently lifted the ban on the cutting of trees falling on the project route, thereby paving the way for the flyover construction. The administration had approached the Ministry of Roads, Transport, and Highways (MoRTH) for sanction to start construction. The administration had informed the HC and ministry that the contractor, DRAIPL-DMR (JV), was willing to carry out the work of construction on the flyover. The contractor agreed to complete the project at this point in time, at cost, when the tender was awarded. The flyover building is now possible after the Punjab and Haryana high courts removed the stay on the removal of trees that were falling on the project path. The contractor, DRAIPL-DMR (JV), was eager to construct the flyover since the government had notified the HC and ministry. When the tender was granted, the contractor committed to finishing the job at this time and on budget. The ministry of roads, transport, and highways (MoRTH) was contacted by the administration to request approval to begin construction. Approval to carry out the work at the previously agreed upon cost of Rs 1.3 billion, with the stipulation that any price adjustments or escalations must be paid to the agency on the components specified in the contract agreement. These payments will be made starting on July 31, 2019, the project's base rate. The contractor received a letter of approval in 2019.
