Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Shri Nitin Gadkari and Maharashtra Chief Minister Shri Devendra Fadnavis inaugurated the approximately 8.9-kilometre Indora Chowk-Dighori Flyover on National Highway No. 353D in Nagpur. Built by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) at a cost of about ₹1,000 crore, the project uses Ultra High Performance Fibre Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC) technology to enable longer spans between piers and reduce construction time. The infrastructure reduces travel time between Indora and Dighori from one hour to 10-15 minutes and incorporates ramps, an elevated passage over the Metro corridor, and aesthetic features. During the inauguration, it was also announced that the flyover would be named after Dr. Keshav Baliram Hedgewar.
