New western bypass to link Mandideep and Phanda

06 Sep 2023 CW Team

The new western highway will commence its journey before Mandideep, following the Obedullaganj and Mandideep road, and conclude at the Indore road in the village of Phanda Kalan. It will boast four lanes with access control criteria and include service roads to ensure smoother traffic flow.

One of the key benefits of this bypass is the direct linkage it provides between the Mandideep industrial estate and the industrial hub of Indore. Additionally, it will streamline the development of the city's western region. Notably, heavy vehicles originating from Jabalpur and Narmadapuram will now have a more efficient route to reach Indore, saving both distance (23 kilometres) and time (approximately one hour).

The project allocation breaks down as follows: Rs 4.27 billion for land acquisition, Rs 190 million for utility shift, Rs 150 million for environmental management, and the remainder for corridor construction.

Furthermore, the bypass will stimulate industrial activity along Kolar road and Sehore road (Ratibad village) and offer alternative routes to Indore and Rajgarh. It will also address the long-standing need for a ring road in Bhopal, complementing the existing bypass.

In related news, the state cabinet recently approved the construction of a 40.90-kilometer-long West Bhopal bypass in the western-southern part of the city, expanding its road infrastructure network. This project, estimated at over Rs 29.81 billion, will include a six-lane structure, four-lane road, two-lane service roads, one ROB, two flyovers, fifteen underpasses, and two major junctions. It will be executed under a hybrid annuity model, providing an improved transportation network for the region.
