In a significant advancement for infrastructure, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated Asia's longest double-decker flyover on Saturday, which also boasts the continent's first four-tier structure. Located near Gaddigodam Gurudwara on National Highway, this engineering marvel integrates four distinct levels of transit: a Metro line at the top, a flyover below it, a railway track further down, and a road at the base—all at a single location.
The 5.6-kilometer Kamptee Road flyover, stretching from LIC Square to Automotive Square, was constructed by MahaMetro and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) at a cost of ₹573 crore. This project surpasses the previous record held by Nagpur's 3.14-kilometer Wardha Road flyover, establishing new benchmarks for double-decker flyover construction, particularly with its innovative four-tier configuration.
Initiated in 2019, the project encountered various challenges, including the acquisition of private properties in the bustling Sadar area. Despite these hurdles, the flyover's completion marks a significant milestone in urban transportation.
During the inauguration, Gadkari emphasized the potential of adopting ultra-reinforced concrete technology, commonly used in Singapore and Malaysia, for future infrastructure projects. "I have proposed this technology to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has entrusted me with implementing it in Parliament's Vista and upcoming Metro projects, potentially reducing construction costs by 20%," he stated.
The flyover is set to drastically reduce travel time, enabling motorists to cover the 20 kilometers from Kamptee to Nagpur airport in just 20 minutes. Gadkari also noted the demand from Sadar residents for a dedicated entry to the flyover, with MahaMetro already working on a design. Additionally, the road beneath the flyover leading to Kamptee is scheduled for concrete reconstruction, funded by the Central Road Fund (CRF).
The minister praised MahaMetro, NHAI, and local officials, including Collector Vipin Itankar and Municipal Commissioner Abhijeet Chaudhari, for their efforts in bringing this ambitious project to fruition. He highlighted that NHAI has invested between ₹1,300 crore and ₹1,400 crore in Nagpur's three major flyovers—Kamptee Road, Wardha Road, and Pardi.
Gadkari further commended Nagpur Metro for setting a new standard in Metro construction, achieving costs of ₹350 crore per kilometer, significantly lower than in other Indian cities. He also announced plans to redevelop Gaddigodam Market to improve traffic flow in the area.
This flyover stands as a testament to modern engineering, seamlessly blending innovation and functionality to meet the growing demands of urban transit.
