Deadline set for the Jamshedpur flyover; bridge to be built on Swarnarekha River

The girder used in the construction of bridge and flyover will be manufactured at a different location. The length of the girder will be 120 feet while the height will be six feet. The girder will be brought on a trailer and will be installed on the bridge with the help of a special type of crane.
The Mango flyover and bridge will be 3.4 kilometres long. It will have four-lane and two-lane sections.  The flyover being constructed near Dimna Road Blue Bells School will be of four lane width that will facilitate travelling to and from Dimna Road to Sakchi.  Meanwhile, the flyover to be constructed from Mango, New Purulia Road near Payal Cinema to Maharana Pratap roundabout on Marine Drive will be two lanes.
