Introduction: Why Nagpur Is Called the Flyover City
Over the past decade, Nagpur has undergone rapid infrastructure transformation. With the expansion of Metro Rail, National Highways, MIHAN development, and growing vehicle population, the city has focused heavily on flyovers and rail overbridges to reduce congestion.
Today, Nagpur has approximately 25+ major flyovers and rail overbridges (ROB) within city limits and key urban corridors. These structures play a crucial role in making major routes signal-free and reducing travel time.
