Gandhinagar: The state govt gave in-principle approval of Rs 185.12 crore for the construction of two flyovers at Panjrapol and Panchvati junctions. The amount has been sanctioned under the Swarnim Jayanti Mukhya Mantri Shaheri Vikas Yojana.

After constructing a serpentine S-shaped flyover near the Gujarat College, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has proposed to build the flyover at Panchvati in an L-shaped route, commencing from the Radisson Blu hotel in the Law Garden area and extending towards Gita Rambhiya Circle via Panchvati Crossroads. It will conclude near the CN Vidyalaya gates. Initially slated to end in front of Central Mall, the plan was revised to direct the flyover towards Gita Rambhiya Circle before reaching CN Vidyalaya gates, according to sources in the civic body.
Meanwhile, the sources said the Panjrapol flyover will start from the Polytechnic and terminate at the Ahmedabad Management Association.
Recently, the urban development department presented a proposal to chief minister Bhupendra Patel regarding the construction of the two new flyovers in Ahmedabad.
The govt’s statement highlighted its long-term vision to enhance urban infrastructure, with plans to construct 20 flyovers in Ahmedabad out of the 75 planned across the state.
The statement added that seven of these flyovers have already received provisional sanctioning of Rs 612.86 crore.
Furthermore, the urban development department has been allocated a budget of Rs 21,696 crore to implement qualitative changes in urban planning and management. These funds will be utilized for infrastructure development, including roads, bridges, water supply systems, drainage, healthcare, and transportation improvements.
The Swarnim Jayanti Mukhya Mantri Shaheri Vikas Yojana which is dedicated to the comprehensive development of cities, has been extended for another three years, until 2026-27, to ensure sustained progress and continuity in urban development initiatives.
The scheme was initially announced in 2009-10 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Gujarat’s establishment.
