Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) plans to build a skywalk to reduce congestion on the main road by at least 1 lakh people in a day. The 5.5 metre wide and 2,230 metre (2.23km) long skywalk will cover 50 textile markets located on the Ring Road in the city.

Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) LTD, consultant to the project, has suggested a number of options to SMC with regards to the skywalk which it seeks to build in phases within three years.

The first phase will see construction in the textile market’s back side until Salasar Hanuman Temple. A portion parallel to Ring Road will be constructed in the second phase and Millennium Market Road will be covered in the third phase.

SMC will begin work on the third phase of the skywalk project only after holding consultations with FOSTTA, tempo association, traffic police and other stakeholders.

The skywalk will be seven metre high and mostly all textile markets in this area will have access to it through an escalator. It will have an access point at every 200 metre and for multi-level parking, BRTS bus stops, etc.

The detailed project report (DPR) on skywalk is expected to be completed by 15 July. The project cost is also being worked out. Tendering and allotment of work will begin later.
