Hurdle in elevated road project: Foot overbridge near Govt Girls College to be razed

The municipal corporation (MC) has decided to demolish the foot overbridge near the Government College for Girls (GCG) at the Ferozepur Road as the overbridge is becoming a hurdle in the construction of the
Ferozepur Road-Samrala Chowk elevated road project.

Confirming the development, superintendent engineer (SE), building and roads (B&R) department, Harpreet Bhullar, said, “The MC will soon demolish the structure under the ongoing elevated road project. However, for the convenience of the public, the MC is planning to construct a
foot overbridge near the bus stand flyover.”

“The overbridge is a hurdle in the elevated road project. The structure should have been demolished last year, but due to some reasons the plan was not put into action,” said project director BS Chauhan, National Highways Authority of India.
