Naiduniya Representative, Indore (Ganpati Ghat). Ganpati Ghat on Mumbai-Agra National Highway is being arranged to prevent road accidents. The work of construction of 8.5 km long new road is very slow. Whereas the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has to complete the work by December.
At present, the asphalting of the flyover and two km of road is pending. However, the work of the underpass has reached its final stage. At present, the construction agency needs fly ash for the bridge. We will have to wait for a month for this.
Construction started in June 2023
The work of Ganpati Ghat, being built at a cost of Rs 100 crore, started in June 2023. The construction agency has prepared a road of six and a half km. Asphalting has also been done. The work of the underpass will be completed next month.
Difficulty for oncoming vehicles
Despite the construction work going on, there is no alternative route for vehicles to pass through here. Due to this, there are a lot of problems in the movement of vehicles on the road. Many times vehicles collide with each other. While there is more problem at night. Due to this, road accidents are happening every day.
The road work will be completed by December
According to officials, two kilometers of the road is remaining. Cementation will be done after the base is ready. Later, asphalt will be laid. The work will be completed by December. Instructions have been given to the construction agency in this regard.
