After a gap of nearly three years, the UT Administration has decided to breathe a new life into the PGIMER-Sarangpur elevated road project. Initially proposed in 2020, this 1.75-km flyover, encompassing a 1.3-km elevated stretch, was temporarily shelved due to Covid.
An official of the Engineering Department confirmed that consultants had been engaged to draft a feasibility report for the project, with an expected submission within a month. Once this report is received, the fate of the project will be determined. The department will then proceed with obtaining various clearances, including environmental approvals, before finalising the design and project cost. Upon finalisation, funding for the project will be sought from the Union Government in the next financial year.
