Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Finally! Motorists of the city can hope for a smoother driving experience as the four newly-built flyovers in the city will be opened for traffic today.

Two of them Bharwakuan and Phooti Kothi would be fully operational while only one arm each of the Khajrana and Luvkush flyovers would be opened for traffic as their construction was delayed due to delay in removing religious places.

The remaining side of these flyovers will be opened for the public in upcoming months. All the flyovers would be inaugurated by Chief Minister Mohan Yadav. It will be the first time that four flyovers will be started on a single day.

The chief executive officer of IDA RP Ahirwar said that CM Yadav will inaugurate the bridges built by the Indore Development Authority at the Phooti Kothi Square, Bhawarkuan Square, Khajrana Square and Luvkush Square. These flyovers will provide ease of traffic to at least 5 to 7 lakh people, and at the same time, the traffic pressure on various routes of the city would be reduced.
