Mango flyover to get 2 lanes, service road

Jamshedpur: The upcoming Mango flyover in the city will now have a two-lane road and service roads on its flanks to facilitate the movement of local motorists.
As per the previous design, a single lane was proposed from Mango roundabout to Payal Cinema. Now, there will be a two-lane road on the stretch, officials said on Saturday.
The construction work for the 2.8 km long flyover project began in September last year. A total of Rs 461 crore is to be spent for the project. Officials claimed that the project will be ready early 2026.
The proposed changes to the design came to light after senior officials of the state road construction department and the construction company inspected the project on Saturday along with Jamshedpur (West) MLA Saryu Roy. "Changes were made to the design based on the demands of locals, who said a single lane will not be useful," he said.
The proposed single lane would have convenience motorists coming in from Sakchi. However, the new design will make way for the movement of vehicles coming approaching from Payal Cinema end. A roundabout will also be built near the theatre alongside a parking lot under the flyover.
"Forest land near Payal Cinema will have to be acquired for the implementation of the revised design," Deepak Sahay, executive engineer of the RCD, said.
