Gurugram member of Parliament (MP) Rao Inderjit Singh on Thursday said that tenders for a proposed flyover in Bilaspur flyover and Manesar elevated corridor will be floated by the next week.

“The tenders for Bilaspur flyover and Manesar elevated corridor would be floated within the next 10 days. The flyover is going to be constructed at the cost of ₹23 crore and the budget for the elevated corridor is pegged at ₹90 crore.
