Indore-Ujjain 6 lane highway.
Construction of Indore-Ujjain six lane highway will start in 6 to 7 months. Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC) has started the tender process on the basis of DPR. There will be 2 flyovers and 6 underpasses on the 6 lane highway to be built in 44 kilometers from Aurobindo Hospital intersection to Hari Fatak intersection Ujjain. This will make all the main junction signals free. MPRDC has issued tender notice for this project last week. The last date to apply is 15th April. The budget is Rs 735 crore. It is claimed to be ready in two years after the construction starts.
This project has been prepared to ease the path to Simhastha 2028. At present there is a load of more than 25 thousand vehicles on Indore-Ujjain road every day. It is estimated that by 2028, the traffic load on this highway will be more than 60 thousand vehicles every day. In such a situation, due to having a six lane highway, there will be no traffic pressure. About 1 lakh population of Indore urban area adjacent to the road will also get relief.
The work of double decker bridge is also going on at Lavkush intersection of Indore-Ujjain road.
The present two tolls will remain the same, one at Baroli and the other at Ninora.
The toll system on the six-lane highway will be as per the current tolling. One toll plaza will be at Baroli before evening and the other toll plaza is at Ninora near Ujjain, which will be further expanded. The department can take action to acquire land around the toll plaza in the coming days. The entire remaining road has been designed keeping in mind the control area of the highway. There will also be basic facilities like patrolling by emergency vehicles, street lights, drainage, drinking water.
