Four flyovers were planned to be completed by 2009, but these projects have remained unbuilt.[1][2][3][4] A Trumpet interchange is planned for the junction. The interchange starts at the IT Expressway in front of Kasturba Nagar station and goes parallel to MRTS line and then turn about while splitting into two joining the Sardar Patel Road.[5][failed verification] As of December 2007, the corporation and government were yet to finalise the design and alignment of the flyover.[6]
