What we call an odd decision as when Maha Metro stated that the Manish Nagar railway over bridge(ROB) and Railway Under Bridge(RUB) both will be one-ways. As per the original plan they were going to have two-way traffic. The point to be noted here is that the construction of the ROB has completed while construction of the RUB is near completion. Metro has said that the ROB attached to the double decker bridge on Wardha road can only be used by people travelling from Manish Nagar to Hotel Pride, whereas the RUB can only used by people coming from Wardha road.
As per the information, recently the traffic department had claimed that two-way traffic on the RUB would affect smooth movement of traffic. However, nothing is stated about the ROB. The part of the ROB that joins to the double-decker bridge is specifically made in ‘Y’ shape to facilitate two-way traffic. As per Maha Metro official source, due to some probable technical difficulties in movement of traffic on both ROB and RUB, it has been decided that they both will be carrying only one-way traffic. On other hand, deputy commissioner of the traffic police Vikram Sali stated that one-way traffic was suggested on the RUB as it had very narrow turnings. However, the traffic department has not given any such suggestion regarding the ROB.
