New Three-Lane ROB to Be Built on MR-12 Road in Indore

08 Apr 2025 CW Team

The Public Works Department (PWD) is set to construct an additional three-lane railway overbridge (ROB) on MR-12 Road under the Indore Development Authority’s (IDA) Town Planning Scheme-8 (TPS-8). This development follows a meeting chaired by the Indore Divisional Commissioner Deepak Singh, which was attended by officials from the IDA, PWD, and other government bodies.

The construction of the ROB is planned based on the modified alignment of MR-12 Road. The IDA has already passed a Board resolution and submitted the proposal to the state government for necessary approvals. Currently, the PWD Bridge Division is engaged in constructing a three-lane ROB on the same route. With the revised plan, the department will now approach the Railways to obtain approval for an additional three lanes under the General Arrangement Drawing (GAD).

Once completed, the overbridge will offer a total of six lanes, aimed at addressing the region’s growing traffic volume and ensuring smoother vehicular movement. The expanded infrastructure is expected to play a crucial role in easing congestion, particularly during peak hours.

Construction of the additional lanes will begin after receiving clearance from the Town and Country Planning (TNCP) department, which is reviewing the revised alignment plan. The six-lane ROB is part of a broader strategy to enhance connectivity and infrastructure within the TPS-8 area, aligning with urban development goals set by the IDA and other planning authorities.
