Nearly 10 months after the grand bhoomi poojan by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on August 4, 2024, the much-hyped ₹106 crore flyover project from Manewada Square to Mhalgi Nagar remains an embarrassing non-starter. Not a single contractor appointed, no machinery deployed — just silence and growing public anger.
Despite being pitched as a game-changer to ease traffic on Umred Road, Ring Road, and nearby routes, the project is still stuck in the tendering stage, as revealed by the PWD World Bank division’s tender dated June 13, 2025. This means that for nearly a year, the government has done nothing beyond ceremonial announcements.
The proposed plan involves flyovers meant to decongest Nagpur’s traffic gridlock. Yet, daily snarls continue unabated while residents feel cheated by political theatrics. What was touted as “transformational infrastructure” has become another symbol of administrative paralysis.
The tender floated now mentions percentage rate contracts — but shockingly, there’s no clarity on deadlines or execution plans. With monsoon underway, even if a contractor is chosen now, real work is unlikely to begin anytime soon.
This isn’t a delay. It’s systemic negligence wrapped in political optics. The ₹106 crore project was launched with media fanfare but zero backend preparation.
Until tenders turn into work orders and speeches into steel, all that’s truly built is public disappointment. Nagpur’s flyover dream now hangs in limbo — another headline project lost to hollow promises.
