The government has approved 72 crores for the project, and work is expected to start soon. The construction of the bridge is expected to take 18 months. Once completed, it will benefit around 15 lakh people in the city.

15 km of the detour will be saved

It is claimed that this will be the country’s first ROB to cross six railway tracks. Once completed, it will save around 15 km of detour.
● Currently, small vehicles have to take a detour from platform number one to reach Chola, while larger vehicles take a longer route via Bharat Talkies ROB.

● Passengers travelling from Bhopal station to the airport have to go through old Bhopal’s traffic. With the ROB, they can directly reach the airport from platform number one via the Karod route.
● Many trains go directly from Bairagarh to Nishatpura. Currently, passengers have to go to Bairagarh to catch their trains due to lack of connectivity. With the ROB, passengers will be able to catch their trains directly from Nishatpura station.
