| Abstract: |
The rapid urbanisation demands the development of National highways {NH) & Metro corridors. However, the space available for the transportation structures is only the existing road width, which becomes a deadlock for executing agencies. The Nagpur Metro rail development & NH flyover work along the demanding Wardha road happened to follow suit. The 3.4Km stretch of NH & Metro alignment coincided between Ajni and Airport Road. The challenge became an opportunity to construct a double-decker, however, with various riders such as aesthetics, a stringent schedule, and overall economy. The stretch also included three stations and one obligatory span, which resulted in a Link Bridge for passenger movement and extended pier caps. The multilevel structural arrangement resulted in the optimisation of land use, materials, and other precious resources. The successful implementation of a double-decker became a trend-setter for various upcoming projects. |
