Maharail to Rectify Faulty Design of Kawrapeth Flyover, Design Awaits Approval Nagpur: The Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation (MRIDC), responsible for addressing the flawed design of the contentious Kawrapeth flyover, is currently awaiting key approvals before initiating corrective measures. Following an exposé by The Times of India (TOI) that highlighted critical design deficiencies, the issue was brought to the attention of the State legislative assembly by local legislators. PWD minister Shivendra Singh Raje Bhosale, during a meeting on July 17, 2025, assured lawmakers that widening work at three critical junctions would be undertaken at a cost of Rs 20.84 crore to alleviate traffic congestion and enhance safety. Subsequently, MRIDC (Maharail) was designated as the executing agency for the project. Officials confirmed that the corporation has initiated planning efforts to optimize traffic flow. A General Arrangement Drawing (GAD), tailored to align with on-site conditions, has been submitted to the Public Works Department (PWD) for approval. An MRIDC official stated, "Once the necessary clearance is received, the design process will advance to the next stage." The project is being managed by MRIDC's technical team under the leadership of managing director Rajesh Kumar Jaiswal. The team is focused on resolving both design and safety concerns associated with the flyover. The initiative underscores the urgency to address the structural flaws that have raised safety alarms and contributed to persistent traffic bottlenecks in the region. The delays in finalizing the design have sparked public concern, with residents and commuters demanding swift action to prevent further incidents.#public_works_department #kawrapeth_flyover #rajesh_kumar_jaiswal #shivendra_singh_raje_bhosale
