| Traffic snarl at Benz Circle is soon likely to be a thing of the past. The Vijayawada Municipal Corporation (VMC) will construct a flyover at Benz Circle to ease traffic congestion and has asked New Delhi-based Consulting Engineering Services (CES) to prepare a Detailed Project Report for the flyover, according to Municipal Commissioner Natarajan Gulzar.
Addressing a press conference here on Saturday, Mr. Gulzar said CES would submit the report in a month. The corporation was proposing to construct the flyover as part of the Bus Rapid Transit System project that would cost Rs. 152.64 crores. Although the cost of the flyover was yet to be finalised, the amount was roughly estimated at Rs. 12 crores.
Mr. Gulzar said they had invited tenders for execution of the BRTS project. During the first leg of the project, the corporation would lay roads at a cost of Rs. 14 crores, and construct two bridges at Machavaram and near the Central Warehousing Corporation at an expenditure of Rs. 11 crores.
EPC basis
The VMC is proposing to construct the flyover on the Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) basis. It has asked the consultant to design the flyover in such a way that the traffic coming from Eluru Road, NTR University of Health Sciences, Five Number route, and other places could go directly towards Krishnalanka and Kanakadurga Varadhi without waiting at Benz Circle.
The VMC also wanted the BRTS buses to ply on the long service roads that start at Ramavarappadu on National Highway -5, and pass via Eenadu office, and take a ‘U turn’ at NTR Circle and go towards PWD Grounds on Bandar Road. |

VIJAYAWADA: Works on the Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) will begin in the city in the first week of March.
Speaking to this website's newspaper here on Saturday, Municipal Commissioner Natarajan Gulzar said the total cost of BRTS project was Rs 152 crore, which includes construction of a flyover, two bridges across canals and laying of a four-lane road in place of the removed Satyanarayana Puram railway track. The first phase of BRTS project costs Rs 28 crore.
Though the railway authorities handed over the site to the municipal corporation two and half years ago after removing the track, Satyanarayana Puram road envisaged to ease traffic congestion in the city, got delayed for no valid reasons.
Initially, the R&B Department decided to take up the four-lane road, which connects Vijayawada-Hyderabad and Chennai-Howrah national highways. But later it dropped the proposal |
