Proposed flyover set to improve city connectivity
Prayagraj: In a major infrastructural development under the Smart City initiative, a new flyover is set to be constructed on Stanley Road to streamline traffic movement in the city.
Spanning approximately 1,700 metres, this four-lane flyover will be the longest in the Prayagraj division.
The project, which will cost over Rs 125 crore, aims to decongest some of the city's busiest intersections and improve overall connectivity.
As per the initial proposal, the flyover will start near Kalash crossing (the starting point of the six-lane bridge over the Ganga) and extend up to Lok Seva Aayog crossing.
Its strategic alignment will connect directly to the six-lane bridge, providing a seamless route for vehicles arriving from Lucknow and Ayodhya to reach Maharshi Bharadwaj (Balson) crossing.
Among other benefits for commuters, particularly the population residing in Talirganj and Phaphamau, along with those using the under-construction bridge over the river Ganga, this will significantly reduce pressure on Lala Lajpat Rai Road.

This is one of the city's major bottlenecks, where frequent traffic jams have been a persistent issue, especially near the blood bank, police reserved lines and Muir Hall.
According to project director from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Mohammad Nusratullah Khan, the proposal is being finalised, and the process of preparing a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will commence shortly. The ministry has already conducted two on-ground inspections of the proposed route.
The construction is expected to take between two to two and a half years. During this period, Stanley Road will also be widened to accommodate increased vehicular load. Officials earlier planned to begin the project ahead of the Maha Kumbh, but due to time constraints, it was postponed.
Once completed, the flyover is expected to benefit over 50,000 daily commuters.
