Koradi Naka Flyover Set to Open in July 2026 After Nearly Two Years of Delay

Commuters travelling on National Highway 47 between Nagpur and Obedullaganj will finally get relief as the Koradi Naka flyover opening July 2026 draws near. The long-delayed flyover, which has been under construction for nearly two years, is now expected to be open for traffic from July 2026. The announcement brings hope to thousands of daily commuters who have endured severe traffic congestion, dust, and noise at this notorious stretch for an extended period.

Why Was the Koradi Naka Flyover Delayed?

Initially slated for completion within 18 months, the project got off to a delayed start by nearly three months and is now expected to be finished around six months behind schedule. One of the biggest obstacles has been the presence of a high-tension power line near the junction, which has significantly hampered construction work.

Efforts to raise the high-tension line have been underway for more than a year. Officials said that had the power line been shifted earlier, traffic could have been allowed on the flyover as early as this month.

The High-Tension Line Problem Explained

Relocating a high-tension power line in an active urban area is a complex and time-consuming process. It requires coordination between the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and MSEDCL, site surveys, structural approvals, and careful execution to avoid power disruptions to surrounding areas.

According to sources, a site for relocating the high-tension line was finalised around two months ago. However, excavation at the location revealed weak soil conditions, forcing authorities to identify an alternative site. The revised plan involves installing monopoles on both sides of the road to elevate the power cables. Officials from MSEDCL and NHAI have already inspected the new location.

The monopole installation is now the final major task standing between the current state of the project and its completion. Once the power cables are safely elevated, construction teams will be able to complete the remaining work on the flyover structure.

Two Years of Hardship for Commuters

For nearly two years, from mid-2024 to mid-2026, motorists have struggled with severe traffic congestion around Koradi Naka. The narrow service road, coupled with the movement of heavy vehicles, has turned the stretch into a notorious accident-prone black spot. Residents and daily commuters have also had to cope with persistent dust and noise pollution from the ongoing construction work and are now eagerly awaiting the flyover’s opening.

Koradi Naka sits on one of Nagpur’s busiest arterial roads, connecting the city to key industrial and residential zones along NH-47. The volume of both private vehicles and heavy commercial traffic at this junction makes the absence of a grade separator a significant daily problem for thousands of people.

What the Flyover Will Mean for Nagpur’s Traffic

Once open, the Koradi Naka flyover will eliminate the bottleneck that has plagued this junction for years. Vehicles travelling on NH-47 will be able to pass through without stopping at the signal, dramatically reducing travel time and improving road safety at what has become one of Nagpur’s most accident-prone intersections.

The flyover will also reduce the burden on the narrow service road that has been bearing the full load of diverted traffic throughout the construction period. Residents of nearby colonies, who have lived with construction dust and noise for close to two years, will see a significant improvement in their daily environment once the project wraps up.

NHAI and MSEDCL Racing Against the Monsoon

With July fast approaching, both NHAI and MSEDCL are under pressure to complete the monopole installation before the onset of the monsoon season. Heavy rains can complicate electrical infrastructure work and may further delay the timeline if the power line relocation is not completed in time.

Officials have indicated that work is being expedited and that all necessary inspections have been completed. The July target is being treated as a firm deadline by the project authorities.
