The Nagpur Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has officially begun construction of **Maharashtra's longest Cellular Lightweight Concrete (CLC) bridge, marking a major milestone in urban infrastructure development. The project, which kicked off on October 3, 2025, will span several kilometers, connecting key parts of the city and easing traffic congestion while enhancing public transit connectivity. Officials from NMRC stated that the bridge will employ advanced CLC technology, known for its lightweight, durable, and eco-friendly properties, allowing for faster construction and lower maintenance costs. Once completed, it will not only serve metro trains but also accommodate pedestrian and vehicular traffic in designated sections, improving urban mobility for thousands of daily commuters. Construction is expected to proceed in phases, with a projected completion timeline of 24–30 months, depending on weather and logistical factors. Authorities emphasized that safety measures are being prioritized, with temporary diversions and signage planned to minimize disruptions to residents. The project is part of a larger initiative to modernize Nagpur’s transit infrastructure and promote sustainable urban development. #NagpurMetro #CLCBridge #MaharashtraInfrastructure #UrbanDevelopment #MetroExpansion #NagpurNews #PublicTransit #SustainableConstruction #CommuterSafety #SmartCity
Nagpur's road safety is under scrutiny as overgrown shrubs and ornamental plants on road dividers are creating blind spots, particularly for two-wheeler riders. Areas like Maharajbagh to University Library Square, Alankar Talkies Square to Jhansi Rani Square, Inner Ring Road, and parts of Pratap Nagar have been identified as high-risk zones. Riders have reported branches scraping helmets or bodies when maneuvering traffic, especially during peak hours. Residents and commuters are raising concerns about the inadequate maintenance of these green spaces. While the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) claims periodic trimming, citizens argue that upkeep is irregular, worsened by monsoon-driven growth. Experts warn that limited visibility at turns increases the risk of collisions. There is a growing call for immediate and systematic pruning by NMC in coordination with traffic authorities to prioritize road safety. #news #Newsone #NagpurRoadSafety #TrafficHazard #TwoWheelerSafety #BlindSpots #RoadMaintenance #NMCAlert #CommuterSafety #UrbanSafety
