NHAI proposes part-demolition for GT Road redevelopment

21 Aug 2023 CW Team

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is considering the demolition of the upper section of the current two-lane Thakurdwara flyover on the GT Road to expand the flyover by two additional lanes to accommodate the high volume of traffic, officials aware of the matter said. They added that the proposal forms a crucial part of the GT Road redevelopment initiative and is anticipated to raise the project’s cost by an estimated Rs 100-125 crore.

NHAI has outlined plans for the redevelopment of a 14-km stretch of GT Road, extending from Gyani Border to Lal Kuan, as a specialised project. The current projected cost stands at approximately Rs 395 crore, which includes an allocation of Rs 110 crore for utility relocation within the scope of the project.

Officials said that the existing two-lane flyover poses a significant obstacle to the redevelopment project and necessitates widening. The flyover originates near the New Bus Adda metro station and extends above the bustling commercial area, culminating at Ghanta Ghar.

“We propose the removal of the upper segment of the flyover. In its place, steel spans will be positioned alongside the concrete structure, offering a lighter-weight alternative. This design adjustment will enable the addition of two more lanes, resulting in a four-lane flyover. We are currently evaluating the flyover’s plans and schematics and will soon arrive at a decision,” said an officer from NHAI.
