The plan also proposes the widening of the Sundarpada–Jatni Road and building three flyovers at Kalpana Square, Museum Square, and Sishu Bhawan Square. An underpass at AG Square is also part of the proposed infrastructure upgrades, according to reports.

Inner Ring Road To Link Different Parts of City

To improve connectivity further, a left-side parallel road is planned from the Institute of Mathematics to Ekamra Kanan, passing through Pathargadia, Utkal Hospital, and Rail Vihar. Additionally, the plan includes three right-side access roads linking different parts of the city, along with an inner ring road.

According to a government statement, these initiatives are expected to significantly reduce traffic congestion while enhancing the city’s visual appeal. A rehabilitation package has also been announced for approximately 366 families who will be displaced by the projects.
