Bhubaneswar: The Centre has allocated Rs 374.17 crore for the construction of a 3.5 Km long 6-lane flyover at Ainthapalli junction and a 2-lane ROB (LHS) on NH-53 (formerly NH-6) in Sambalpur district.
It was informed by the Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari in a post on ‘X’.
Gadkari stated that the proposed 6-lane flyover aims to alleviate heavy traffic congestion at Ainthapali Chowk. Additionally, the project incorporates the construction of a 2-lane ROB, previously excluded from the Teleibani-Sambalpur 4-lanning project on NH-53.
Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan had written to Gadkari on November 28, 2023 seeking the construction of such a flyover at Ainthapali Square in Sambalpur.
