Gandhinagar, Nov 2025:  Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel inaugurated Saurashtra’s longest flyover bridge, constructed at a cost of ₹226.99 crore in Jamnagar. The total length of the four-lane elevated flyover bridge from Sat Rasta Circle to Subhash Chandra Bose Statue, including 4 approaches, is 3,750 metres. The main bridge consists of four lanes measuring 16.50 metres, while the approaches on Indira Marg and Dwarka Road consist of two lanes of 8.40 metres. This flyover will provide smooth vehicular movement for the citizens of Jamnagar towards Dwarka, Reliance, Nayara, GSFC, and Rajkot Road. It will significantly reduce traffic congestion and accidents at the four major junctions below the bridge: Saat Rasta Circle, Gurudwara Junction, Narmada Circle, and Nagnath Junction, resulting in savings of fuel and time.

 Additionally, the new route from Subhash Bridge to Saat Rasta Circle and further to Lal Bangla Circle will resolve traffic problems in areas like Nagnath Junction, Teen Darwaza (Grain Market), and Bedi Gate. Along with this developmental work, the under-space beneath the bridge has also been developed for public convenience. In 61 zones, parking facilities for over 1,200 vehicles have been arranged, including space for 850 two-wheelers, 250 four-wheelers, 100 rickshaws, 100 other vehicles, and 26 buses. Furthermore, four pay-and-use toilets, a labour facility centre at one location, sports activity areas in 10 zones, waiting/seating arrangements at four locations, and food zones at four locations have also been made available. This flyover, inaugurated by the Chief Minister, will bring ease and convenience to the lives of the people of Jamnagar and mark a new chapter in the city’s development.
