Ghaziabad: Hapur Chungi intersection, one of the city's major traffic bottlenecks, is set to get a four-lane flyover soon, district officials said. The move is aimed at decongesting the area, which sees heavy vehicular movement daily due to the convergence of multiple high-volume routes, including NH-9, NH-58, and the Alt Center, with no grade separation to streamline the traffic flow.
The administration has directed the UP Bridge Corporation to submit a detailed project report (DPR) for the proposed project within two weeks.
The flyover, proposed to be 800 metres long and four lanes wide, is expected to cost around Rs 98 crore. The move aims to ease traffic on one of the busiest road stretches in the city, where vehicles from NH-9 heading toward Shastrinagar, Meerut, Delhi, and Hapur district frequently get caught in snarls.

The bridge will cross over Hapur Chungi, starting from the Diamond railway overbridge and heading towards ALT Centre road, and will serve commuters using the route to Shastrinagar intersection and NH-58. It will also ease traffic moving from Delhi and Sahibabad via Mohan Nagar and Thakurdwara en route to Hapur.
DM Ravindra Kumar Mandar said, "Once DPR is received, it will be sent to the state govt for approval, and the construction is expected to be completed within the next one year.
The project cost will be borne by the state Public Works Department, which also holds the stretch of the road where this construction will happen."
The DM said that apart from the flyover, the administration is also working on addressing local traffic congestion issues. During his inspection of the Collectorate area earlier this week, Mandar instructed officials to expand parking facilities in the complex, which often witnesses haphazard vehicle movement and overcrowding.
"The goal is to bring visible improvements in the city's traffic management. We are looking at both short-term steps like better parking management and long-term infrastructure like new bridges to ensure smoother movement for residents," he added.
