Ajni underpass
However, the approach road from the TB Ward side for MRIDC’s under-construction Laxman Jhula may take time as we have to plant 13,500 plants against the 400 that need to be cut.
Hence, smaller stretches may continue to face restrictions,” PWD engineer Anand Rode told TOI. Ajni underpass Ajni underpass Ajni underpass Ajni underpass Ajni underpass Ajni underpass Nagpur: The state Public Works Department (PWD) plans to open the underpass being constructed near the British-era Ajni Bridge by Nov, while road widening and construction of permanent approaches will continue in phases. PWD is executing a Rs35-crore project comprising the underpass and widening of the road between Ajni Bridge and TB Ward Square. The works are linked to the approaches of the Rs332-crore Laxman Jhula being constructed by the Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC). The ongoing construction has narrowed the available road space, resulting in frequent traffic jams in the area. “Underpass opening by November will ease traffic. We are also checking locations for plantations. The first phase of the twin-cable-stayed bridge does not have an independent permanent approach and depends on the surrounding road network. Once MRIDC completes one side of the bridge, the existing bridge can be demolished and the other side constructed.

Officials said the delay in the approach road is not expected to affect the opening of the new bridge. The further road widening would be carried out in phases,” Rode said. PWD has planned temporary approaches and diversions to allow traffic to move onto the completed side of the Laxman Jhula. “We will make the arrangements to allow traffic. The widened road will eventually form the permanent approaches to the new bridge. However, portions of the proposed widening fall within railway limits, for which the department has to obtain land on lease. The underpass will provide direct connectivity between Congress Nagar and Chuna Bhati, allowing motorists travelling between the two areas to bypass the busy Ajni Bridge Square junction. Traffic between Kriplani Square and Ajni Bridge will continue to move over the underpass, reducing conflicts at the junction and easing congestion. Download the TOI App.
