There is a sigh of relief for the residents of Sundarapada, Bhimtangi and Pokhariput area in Old Bhubaneswar with the announcement of construction of a bridge over a railway crossing, where frequent accidents took place in past.The flyover, as per the original drawing, is supposed to go straight, starting from Pokhariput road to Sunderpada-Jatni road. But to the dismay of the local residents, the overbridge, now planned to be curved, as per a revised drawing, will be extended towards Ekamra College of Bhimtangi.To connect the overbridge with the Ekamra College road, which includes construction of 40 ft road, the existing BDA market complex and some 3-storied police quarters have to be demolished and the airfield police station has to be relocated. Moreover, experience shows that the curved overbridge is prone to accidents, particularly among the youngsters, and it has been proved in the nearby Punama gate overbridge of the Old town, where around 10-11 accidents took place after its completion. |
