The state government has given and in principle nod for giving grants for the flyover pegging the cost at Rs 42 crore. If the government does not agree to the escalation in the project cost, the VMC will have to bear the additional cost of Rs 17.62 crore.

The cost of the flyover at Vrundavan crossroads is pegged at Rs 58.28 crore by a consultant roped in by the VMC. It will be 605m long and 16.5m wide. The state government has agreed to grant funds estimating Rs 49 crore. VMC will have to shell out the additional Rs 9.28 crore, in case the government does not agree to the higher costing.
