Gadkari opens Asia’s longest double-decker flyover in Nagpur | India News – Times of India

NAGPUR: Union minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated Saturday Asia’s longest double-decker flyover, which also features the continent’s first four-tier structure.
The engineering marvel integrates four different levels of transit at a single location – a Metro line at the top, followed by a flyover, a railway track beneath it, and, finally, a road at the base. The flyover promises to drastically cut travel time, allowing motorists to cover 20km (Kamptee to Nagpur airport) in just 20 minutes.
The 5.6km double-decker Kamptee Road flyover from LIC Square to Automotive Square, constructed by MahaMetro and NHAI at a cost of Rs 573 crore, now surpasses an earlier record held by Nagpur’s 3.14km Wardha Road flyover.Both projects set benchmarks for double-decker flyover construction, but this latest achievement breaks new ground with its innovative four-tier configuration.
Speaking at the inauguration, Gadkari highlighted the potential of adopting ultra-reinforced concrete technology, widely used in Singapore and Malaysia, for upcoming infrastructure projects.
