Kalpana square is always choked with traffic, and every turn is a struggle which is a test of patience for every commuter. This is going to ease at Kalpana Square, with the announcement of a new flyover project bringing a glimmer of hope to the daily commuters. The project, with an estimated cost of ₹700 crore, is set ease the daily struggles of countless commuters. The proposed flyover at Kalpana Square is a comprehensive solution designed to decongest a critical intersection and streamline traffic flow in multiple directions. The structure will be circular in shape, with ramps branching out to connect various key points in the city.

Starting from Fortune Hotel, the flyover will ascend towards Nayapalli, its arms stretching out to touch the fire station near Kalpana Square. From this point, the flyover will divide into two routes. One branch will lead towards Rasulgarh, while the other will soar over the museum square and head towards Rabi Talkies.
But the transformation doesn't stop at Kalpana Square. The project also includes plans for a new railway over bridge connecting Mausima Square to Sisu Bhawan Square. This new bridge will not only ease the traffic burden but also address the long-standing issue of congestion at the level crossing. The existing railway overbridge is not only old but also too narrow to handle the current volume of traffic. The new overbridge will be wider and more efficient, promising a smoother ride for commuters. The project will also revamp the roads leading to the overbridge, including the widening of the road towards the sanitation department.
Five major squares, including Sisu Bhawan and Mausima Square, will be redesigned as part of this ambitious project. The aim is to create more streamlined and efficient traffic patterns, reducing the risk of bottlenecks and improving overall road safety.
The Kalpana flyover project is more than just infrastructure development. It's a response to the growing needs of a modern city, an attempt to make daily commutes less stressful and more efficient. The project is expected to significantly reduce travel times and improve air quality in the area.
The project has received the green light from Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, who has reviewed the plans and asked the public works department to prepare a detailed project report. The new fly over and over bridges are expected to bring much-needed relief to commuters who have long endured the daily traffic snarls at Kalpana Square and Mausima Square. The project promises to decongest a critical intersection and improve connectivity between key areas of the city. With the completion of the Kalpana flyover and the new railway over bridge, Bhubaneswar is poised to take a significant leap towards becoming a more modern and commuter-friendly city. As the city continues to grow and develop, infrastructure projects like these will play a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and efficient urban experience for all.
