CM Mohan Yadav Opens Lavkush Flyover Arm In Indore

Chief Minister Mohan Yadav inaugurated one arm of the double-layer flyover at Lavkush Square in Indore on Thursday, aiming to reduce traffic congestion on the city's busy corridors.

The newly opened stretch will allow vehicles coming from Ujjain to bypass the traffic signal at Lavkush Square intersection, reducing travel time and congestion.

The Chief Minister described the project as a symbol of modern engineering and urban planning, stating that Indore and development are synonymous with each other. He also mentioned that the remaining arm of the flyover would be completed in the coming months.

Once fully operational, the bridge will enable uninterrupted movement of traffic in both directions, playing a crucial role in managing the increasing traffic load on the Indore-Ujjain route during the 2028 Simhastha.

The project is expected to reduce travel time, save fuel, ease traffic jams, and provide safer and more convenient transportation facilities for citizens.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargav, MLAs Golu Shukla and Ramesh Mendola, along with several public representatives, officials, and local residents.

The Chief Minister reviewed the ongoing works around the flyover and directed officials to complete the remaining infrastructure in a time-bound manner.

Lavkush Square now features a three-level traffic system, comprising normal traffic movement on the surface road, the flyover connecting MR-10 with the Super Corridor, and the newly inaugurated double-layer flyover.

The double-layer flyover project has a cost of Rs 175 crore, a length of 1,450 metres, and a height of 22 metres. The main span is 65 metres long and 24 metres wide, with approximately 800 tonnes of steel used, including two 400-tonne bow-string girders.

However, some works are still pending, including the construction of slip roads and at-grade roads, widening of service roads, lighting installation, and landscaping and development of the green belt.

The completion of the flyover project is expected to have a significant impact on the city's traffic management, making it easier for commuters to travel through Indore.

The project's success will also contribute to Indore's reputation as a well-planned and developed city, aligning with the Chief Minister's vision for the city's growth and development.

In the long run, the flyover is expected to reduce traffic congestion, decrease travel time, and improve the overall quality of life for Indore's residents, making it a crucial infrastructure project for the city.
