A foot over bridge will come up at the busy Palasuni square of National Highway 16 in Bhubaneswar at an estimated cost of Rs 2 crore, said MP Aparajita Sarangi.

Sarangi visited the spot on Tuesday and held a discussion with officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and local residents. She said the location where the foot over bridge will come up has been identified.

She said the construction work of the project will commence in July this year and end by October.

“I have requested the NHAI authorities to begin the construction work of the foot over bridge by July and try to commission the project by Durga Puja in October. I will hold talks with Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in this regard,” Sarangi said.
