RUB work begins RUB work begins RUB work begins RUB work begins Nagpur: Nearly two months after the Rs998-crore Indora-Dighori flyover was opened to traffic, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has finally begun construction of two railway underbridges (RUBs) at Pachpaoli. The RUBs were part of the original flyover project but remained incomplete even after its inauguration in Sept. However, locals fear that the construction work could compound traffic woes near Daga Hospital, where congestion is already a perennial problem. “With the railway crossings closed, motorists travelling short distances between Kamal Chowk and areas such as Itwari, Mahal and adjoining localities will have to rely heavily on the flyover. Interestingly, NHAI had initially proposed simultaneous construction of the flyover and RUBs. However, the then deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Archit Chandak, denied permission, citing the lengthy detours motorists would have to take. Following the objections, NHAI revised its execution plan, deciding to first demolish the existing Pachpaoli flyover and build the new elevated corridor before taking up the RUB work. NHAI has now proceeded with the project despite these objections.
