As per https://sambadepaper.com/imageview_61290..._1_sf.html there has been slight change to not disrupt elephants and allow them free movement near Kapilas. Thus a 6.78 km flyover near Kapilas would be incorporated in the plan with an additional cost of 500 crores. The central government has approved this extra expenditure. The project is expected to get done in 30 months.
