Billed as Ahmedabad's longest proposed flyover at 2.5km, this project was approved in August 2021 but construction did not actually start until July 2023 — nearly two years later. As of a March 2025 report it was only about 40% complete and already deemed "unlikely to meet its 36-month deadline."
On record
The official record states: "Not specified for this project individually; general delay factors cited for Ahmedabad's flyover programme include utility relocation, land acquisition, and coordination failures between AMC departments."
Filed as "Under repeat delay" and dated to Approved August 2021; construction began July 2023, this entry sits under the "Not specified" line of the public accounts.
What to expect
- Pillars reaching skyward with no deck to justify them.
- A signboard promising an opening date that has since passed, unbothered.
- Traffic queuing patiently beneath the unfinished span.
- Rebar exposed where the road was meant to continue.
