As Kamptee-Kanhan bypass road and part of outer ring road of Nagpur has been thrown open to traffic, the city residents
 can hope for reduction of heavy traffic inside the city. However, the toll rates are quite high and some truckers may try to pass through the city. The bypasses having total length of 42 km is a great driving experience.
 
 The Kamptee-Kanhan bypass starts at a point 3 km north of Kanhan and touches Bhandara Road at Pardi. The length of this stretch is 21 km. The Nagpur outer ring road at present called Nagpur bypass starts from Bhandara Road, crosses Umred Road and joins Wardha Road at Jamtha.
 
 The length of this stretch is also 21 km. Within a few months Jamtha will be connected to Gondkhairi once the railway over bridge (RoB) is complete.
 
 JP Gupta, senior project director of Oriental Nagpur Bypass Construction (ONBCPL), told the media last week that the project cost was Rs 1,350 crore. Gupta further said that the present road was four lane but the company had left open space on both sides of the road for six laning. However, all the bridges have six lanes, he said.
 
 Commenting on high toll rates, project director KBR Dube said that they were approved by government of India.
