Indore (Madhya Pradesh): The work of the railway overbridge near Laxmi Bai Nagar Railway Station Maal Godaam will start soon. The construction agency has started preparations for this. PWD closed the Maal Godaam railway crossing located near Laxmi Bai Nagar station on Wednesday. A three-arm bridge is to be constructed on the crossing. The construction company has installed barricades to start work on the crossing.
Commuters will now be able to commute via Polo Ground underbridge or Banganga Square. PWD is spending about Rs 29 crore on the construction of Maal Godaam Overbridge and the target is to complete the construction of this two-lane bridge in one and a half years.
One of its arms is to be built on the Maal Godaam, the second arm on the Bhagirathpura side and the third arm on the MR-4 side towards Bhandari Bridge. The construction of the bridge will provide relief from the crossings and traffic jams that often occur throughout the day.
Most of the trucks coming and going towards the Maal Godaam pass through this crossing. A few days ago, PWD closed the road towards Gaurinagar for the work of the overbridge at Banganga crossing on the Indore-Dewas railway line. Now the work of building overbridges will be done simultaneously on the crossings located on both sides of Laxmibai Nagar railway station.
