The flyover is named after Sant Jagnade Maharaj, a prominent Teli community figure and devotional poet who documented the abhangs of Sant Tukaram.
The structure specifically bypasses Dighori Chowk, which previously served as one of the most congested traffic points on the arterial Umred Road.
The project is part of a larger Nagpur municipal infrastructure initiative to create seamless corridors for suburban connectivity.
Sant Jagnade Maharaj Udan Pull is a major flyover located in the Dighori area of Nagpur, Maharashtra, designed to alleviate traffic congestion at the Dighori Chowk intersection. It serves as a critical infrastructure link on the Umred Road, facilitating smoother transit for commuters traveling between the outskirts and the Nagpur city center. The structure is named in honor of Sant Jagnade Maharaj, an 18th-century saint and contemporary of Sant Tukaram. The flyover significantly reduced travel time for heavy vehicles and local traffic previously bottlenecked at the busy Dighori signal. It remains a functional piece of urban transport infrastructure rather than a tourism destination, serving as a primary transit conduit in southeastern Nagpur.

Drivers should maintain lane discipline while using the flyover, as it experiences high volumes of heavy vehicle traffic.
Do not attempt to park or stop on the flyover, as it is a high-speed transit zone; do not walk along the bridge lanes.
