Belgaum is all set to get TWO Pedestrian Under Passes (Subway) one at near Fish Market across NH4A and other one near the District Court.
There was a long pending demand of the citizens that a underpass was needed at both the places and same was sanctioned years ago, but now on August 1, 2012 the tenders were floated for both these under passes.
The time needed for the completion of the under pass is 9 months each. The Tenders would be opened on 3rd of September, 2012 and then the further processing would be done. So even if you say work would commence from November, the entire project would be ready only in August 2013 or later.
The plan and structural designs have been prepared by S N Bhobe associates Pvt Ltd Mumbai.

The markings marked on the map are to give an indication, in actual they might just vary a bit.
Many such projects are waiting for approval .. Hope this work starts soon
hope it starts soon & wil help pedestrians
good…but a overhead crossing is comparatively better than having a subway.
Its better to make an urgent Underpass at KSRTC Bus stand to Khade Bazar, people are unaware of signals, they cross even when Green light is ON. Better responsible citizens or authorities try to make suitable plan for all.
