- Date of commencement: April 20, 2016
- Date of completion: August 19, 2017
AEL’s scope in the project included the design of the substructure, on-site fabrication, Installation and erection along with the construction of a 766m long approach roads system. The project which was initiated as a permanent solution to the situation at hand was to erect a 234 m long steel flyover with a 3.5m wide two-lane carriageway and 1.5m wide two pedestrian ways with hand railings on either side. The flyover was built on a six-span steel superstructure of which the maximum span set to 45m in length. The approach road system comprises of a 3.5m wide two-lane carriageway and a 1.2 m wide raised foot walks for pedestrians. The alignment of the flyover takes a detour around the existing level crossing to improve the overall road geometry while eliminating the need for extensive land acquisitions and utility relocations.
