Jabalpur's Urban Marvel: India's Longest Single-Span Cable-Stayed Bridge Opens

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, alongside Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, inaugurated the state's longest flyover on Saturday—a 7-km marvel featuring a single-span cable-stayed bridge in Jabalpur.

This landmark infrastructure project promises to significantly reduce travel time between Madan Mahal and Damoh Naka from a gruelling 40-45 minutes to a swift 6-7 minutes, according to officials.

Constructed at an expenditure of Rs 1,200 crore, the flyover stands as a testament to modern urban traffic engineering. A prominent feature of the flyover is its 192-metre single-span cable-stayed bridge over a railway line, accompanied by three bow-string bridges composed entirely of steel. Enhancements include green initiatives such as planting 50,000 saplings and developing recreational amenities like a basketball court, an open gym, and a children's park under the structure.
