Project Overview
Translink prepared the detailed project report for a flyover at the Pethapur Junction in Gujarat, a location where intersecting movements, local access and steady corridor traffic converge within a compact urban setting. The assignment centres on defining a bridge solution that separates conflicting flows, organises surface-level activity and supports the long-term function of this key approach to Gandhinagar.
The DPR addresses the structural, geometric and operational elements necessary to create a reliable elevated link that eases pressure on the junction and improves overall traffic behaviour.

Challenges
The junction’s surroundings present a mix of space constraints and roadside development, which influence how the structure can be aligned and how approaches can transition into the existing corridor. Utilities, commercial activity and varying movement patterns require close attention to pier locations and ramp geometry.
The challenge lies in developing a bridge layout that respects existing conditions while still offering clear, predictable traffic flow and safe interaction outside the elevated section.
Solutions
Translink follows a design process that begins with understanding movement patterns and available right-of-way, allowing the team to shape the flyover’s profile, span arrangement and approach geometry in a coordinated manner. Structural options are studied to arrive at an arrangement that fits the site while maintaining construction feasibility and minimal disruption during execution.
Surface-level circulation, drainage and utility adjustments are planned alongside the bridge layout so the final DPR reflects a coherent, buildable solution. All technical components—structural design, geometry, pavement and cost planning—are integrated into a consolidated project document for the authority.
Impact
The planned flyover eases pressure on the junction by offering continuous flow for through traffic and reducing interaction with local movements. The reorganisation of at-grade movements enhances reliability and lowers the likelihood of conflicts, creating a more orderly operating environment around the junction.
With the elevated structure absorbing the primary load, the corridor functions more predictably and can support future urban growth in the surrounding area.
