The newly constructed triple-layer bridge at Indore's MR-10 junction was opened to traffic on Wednesday evening. However, on its first day of operation, the bridge remained without proper lighting, leaving it in darkness.
The bridge, touted as Madhya Pradesh's first triple-layer structure, was inaugurated for public use on Wednesday evening at the MR-10 junction in Indore. Officials said the opening aimed to ease the movement of over two lakh vehicles daily and reduce congestion on the surrounding service roads.
Authorities highlighted that the new bridge would provide a dedicated route for through traffic, thereby improving flow and cutting travel time for commuters across the city. The project is part of broader efforts to upgrade Indore's road infrastructure.
On the very first day, however, the bridge was plunged into darkness because the lighting system was not yet functional. This left drivers navigating the span without adequate illumination, raising concerns about night-time safety.
Despite the lighting issue, the bridge's opening marks a significant milestone in Indore's urban development, promising long-term benefits for vehicular movement once all systems are operational.
