Rs 90 crore is a huge amount. While the flyover is needed, I hope the quality of construction is top-notch and it lasts for decades. We've seen too many projects needing repairs within a few years. Accountability is key.

Great news for Ahmedabad! Infrastructure like this makes a real difference to people's daily lives. Also good to see the focus on housing projects in Rajkot. Development should be holistic. 🙏

As someone who lives near the area, the construction phase was quite a hassle. Glad it's over and functional. Hope they also improve the street lighting and pedestrian pathways below the flyover for safety.

The CM is inaugurating projects left and right! A flyover here, housing there. It's impressive to see the scale of development in Gujarat. This is what proactive governance looks like. #VibrantGujarat

Good step, but one flyover is not enough. The traffic problem in Ahmedabad is systemic. We need better public transport options like a more extensive metro network to reduce reliance on private vehicles in the long run.
