In a major development for Ahmedabad’s road infrastructure, a six-lane overbridge connecting Karnavati to the Sarkhej-Sanand Junction has been inaugurated, bringing significant relief to commuters travelling along the busy SG Highway corridor.
The 4.03-kilometre elevated stretch is expected to improve traffic movement, reduce congestion at key junctions and make daily commuting smoother for thousands of motorists.The new infrastructure is particularly significant for commuters travelling towards Gandhinagar and other parts of Ahmedabad. Traffic congestion around YMCA Cross Road, Prahladnagar and Karnavati Club Junction is expected to ease following the opening of the elevated corridor.
Multiple Entry and Exit Points for Better Connectivity
The overbridge has been designed with multiple entry and exit ramps to ensure convenient access for motorists.
Vehicles travelling from Karnavati towards Sarkhej-Sanand Junction can access the elevated road after crossing the Pakwan Bridge, through the ISKCON Bridge. Exit facilities are available near Karnavati, Honest Cross Road in Prahladnagar and YMCA Cross Road.Similarly, commuters travelling from Sarkhej-Sanand Junction towards Karnavati can access the elevated corridor through ramps provided near YMCA Cross Road, Honest Cross Road and Karnavati.
Unique Inverted T-Shaped Structure
One of the major engineering highlights of the project is its inverted T-shaped design. The elevated structure has been developed using single-pillar support, allowing more space beneath the bridge.This design is expected to help maintain smoother traffic movement on the roads below while providing an additional elevated route for vehicles.
The newly inaugurated corridor is expected to benefit approximately 1.5 to 2 lakh commuters every day. With improved connectivity and reduced traffic bottlenecks, the project is likely to save travel time and en
