The bridge on Patnipura-Malwa Mill Road in Indore is scheduled to be inaugurated on October 2. It is 30 metres wide and 21 metres long and is expected to benefit more than 100,000 people.

Traffic restrictions were enforced between Patnipura Square and Malwa Mill to facilitate construction of a new bridge and demolition of the old bridge near Patnipura Square. Shantilal Yadav, Executive Engineer of the Bridge Cell, was identified in connection with the restrictions.

Indore Development Authority (IDA) halted the proposed elevated road project stretching from Malwa Mill via Patnipura to Rasoma Square. A consultant's feasibility survey over the past year concluded the multi-crore corridor is unviable. The 30-meter road width between Malwa Mill and Patnipura is insufficient for an elevated structure; constructing it would severely narrow surface roads below, leaving inadequate space for mandatory entry and exit ramps at crucial junctions. Traffic data showed long-distance transit along this route is remarkably low, with the majority of vehicular volume consisting of local commuters turning into neighbouring colonies and cross-streets including MIG, Pardeshipura, MR-9, Bhamori, and Mechanic Nagar. Engineers noted an elevated road would fail to resolve surface-level gridlocks at high-density intersections like Anoop Talkies Square. IDA also shelved its cable car project, surveyed across seven city routes.

Malwa Mill–Patnipura Traders' Association protested against slow construction pace on Malwa Mill Bridge in Indore. Traders shut shops and gathered at Indore Municipal Corporation office during public hearing. Association president Manoj Somvanshi stated authorities promised completion within 100 days; 130 days have passed with less than half the work finished. A motorcycle-borne youth died at the construction site. Additional commissioner Narendra Nath Pandey assured traders bridge construction would be completed within 45 days with increased work speed. Association submitted memorandum outlining trader losses, safety concerns, and demands for urgent completion.
