NHAI’s Indora–Dighori Flyover, India’s Longest
State-of-the-Art UHPFRC Structure, Progressing
at Rapid Pace
New Flyover to Transform Urban Mobility, Ensuring Seamless
Traffic Flow and Citizen Convenience

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is constructing the Indora
Chowk–Dighori Chowk Flyover on NH-353D in Nagpur, India’s longest
flyover built entirely using Ultra High Performance Fiber Reinforced
Concrete (UHPFRC) technology. The project has achieved over 73 per cent
physical progress and is targeted for commissioning by June 2026.
Chandrakant Sinha, Project Director, NHAI Nagpur, briefed media persons
about the state-of-the-art project during a media tour on Tuesday. He
highlighted that the Rs. 998-crore project is being implemented to ease
severe traffic congestion and improve road safety along one of Nagpur’s
busiest urban corridors connecting Indora Square, Ashoka Chowk, Shitala
Mata Chowk and Dighori Chowk.The total project length is 8.9 km, including a 6.37-km-long flyover and
13.82 km of service and slip roads. The flyover has been designed as a
two-lane, two-way structure with a 12-metre-wide carriageway.
The project uses advanced UHPFRC technology, enabling longer spans,
higher durability and lower maintenance. The nearly 3-km flyover stretch
between Bhande Plot Chowk and Dighori is fully supported on UHPFRC
girders, making it the only flyover in India constructed entirely using this
technology.
Key components include two ROB/RUB structures at Pachpaoli,
reconstruction of the existing ROB, ramps at Daga Memorial Women’s
Hospital, and completion of flyover works at Agrasen Chowk, where it
crosses the Metro line. An iconic pylon-supported elevated rotary at Ashok
Chowk, connecting major city roads, has also been completed.Development of the road beneath the flyover, including improvements at
three major and eleven minor junctions, is underway to ensure smooth
movement of local traffic.
On completion, the flyover will significantly reduce congestion along the
busy Indora–Dighori corridor by segregating through-traffic towards
Bhandara and Umred, thereby improving road safety and reducing travel
time.
Green Highways Initiative
The project also aligns with the NHAI Green Highways Initiative, under
which large-scale ecological interventions are being implemented in the
Nagpur region. These include a Bird Park at the Jamtha Cloverleaf on NH-
44, spread over 8.23 hectares, three Miyawaki forests with over 27,000
plants, and four Oxygen Parks developed at cloverleaf interchanges,
transforming highway spaces into sustainable green ecosystems.
