The Rs 2.52 billion (Rs 2.52 bn) Mango Flyover project reached a milestone as all 57 pillars were completed and the bridge-cum-flyover over the Subarnarekha River has taken a visible shape. The structure stretches from near Blue Bells School on Dimna Road to the opposite bank and is intended to ease chronic congestion for residents of Mango.\n\nThe scheme comprises a four-lane elevated section originating on Dimna Road and a two-lane section from Azadnagar Road that will converge at the Mango roundabout. Because of that convergence the construction team prioritised works flanking the roundabout and crews recently placed slabs onto pillars there.\n\nA contractor representative identified as Dinesh R Agarwal indicated that the original plan aimed to complete the river bridge by March 2026 but that priorities were adjusted to accelerate the Mango Chowk flyover. Work continues day and night near the Workers Flat area and officials expect the entire Mango Flyover to be finished by July 2026.\n\nThe complete bridge and flyover will rest on 57 pillars and the Dimna Road section will be four lanes to accommodate two-way traffic. The New Purulia Road section is currently being built as a two-lane one-way flyover though authorities may allow two-way movement later, and once operational the structure is expected to provide sustained relief to local commuters who have faced long-standing traffic delays.\n\nNotably all 14 pillars for the section extending from Mango Chowk towards Pardih on New Purulia Road have also been completed, reflecting progress across multiple segments. Contractors are maintaining continuous schedules to ensure timely assembly of superstructure elements and to coordinate slab installation at critical junctions. Officials stated that sequencing the work to address bottlenecks near the Mango roundabout has been central to the revised plan and that this approach aims to reduce disruption during the remaining months of construction. Residents are anticipated to benefit from improved traffic flow and shorter journey times once the flyover is commissioned.
