A branch of the flyover extends from DB Mall crossing towards Bhopal Haat (Mantralaya Marg), offering significant relief to employees working in state-level offices at Vallabh Bhawan and Arera Hills by reducing traffic congestion during peak hours. The improved traffic flow will save time for citizens reaching their destinations and reduce vehicle pollution, contributing to a better quality of life for the residents of Bhopal.
