Bhubaneswar's Sachivalaya Marg to Get Major Makeover
28 Apr
Summary
- Sachivalaya Marg will be widened to six lanes for better commute.
- Underpasses planned at AG, Capital Hospital, and Airport Squares.
- Project execution slated for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
A significant infrastructure upgrade is planned for Bhubaneswar's Sachivalaya Marg, a crucial thoroughfare connecting Airport Square to Acharya Vihar Square. The public works department aims to widen the approximately 6-kilometer road from its current four lanes to six lanes. This expansion includes provisions for dedicated pedestrian pathways and parking areas, enhancing commuter convenience.
A key feature of this ambitious project is the planned development of underpasses for vehicles at AG Square, Capital Hospital Square, and Airport Square. These underpasses are designed to facilitate hassle-free movement for various traffic sections, addressing congestion at these busy junctions.
This development was recently reviewed by Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi. Officials informed him that the execution of the Acharya Vihar Square to Airport Square corridor, including the underpasses, is slated for the 2026-27 fiscal year. The Odisha Bridge and Construction Corporation Ltd. will lead the project, with a detailed project report to follow a feasibility study.
Sachivalaya Marg is of strategic importance, witnessing frequent movement of VIPs and VVIPs due to the presence of the State Assembly, State Secretariat (Lok Seva Bhavan), and other major government offices. The existing smart traffic signals at major intersections are programmed to ensure seamless vehicle movement.
