Following missed targets in January 2026, June 30, and August 15, officials have set a new target to open the Gaur City underpass before Diwali.
The project's total cost has risen from an initial estimate of Rs 60 crore to about Rs 92 crore, primarily due to relocation work for power lines and other essential facilities.
The underpass being built at Gaur City Chowk is approximately 700 meters long. While main construction work is done, remaining tasks such as ramps, road finishing, markings, and lighting installation are underway.
