Brace for traffic congestion on elevated road from today
Jaipur: Traffic movement on the Sodala (Vidyut Nagar)-bound flank of Ajmer Road will move slowly starting Monday morning as Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has decided to close half of the flank to refurbish the surface of the road.
Officials said the work will continue for the next four to five days in phases.
"Unlike resurfacing of Gopalbari-bound flank, we are not going to completely stop traffic movement on the opposite flank. From Monday, we will relay the surface of the stretch between Ram Nagar Metro Station crossing and Sodala. But we will complete this job in stretches, blocking only a portion of the flank. Vehicle movement won't be restricted completely," stated a JDA engineer working on this project.
This means motorists can take this elevated road from the Gopalbari ROB and move until the Ram Nagar Metro station crossing—where the Bharat Jodo Setu merges with the elevated road—uninterrupted. From there until the exit ramp near the Sodala Fruit Market, vehicles will have to move slowly as JDA works on a portion of the flank. Similarly, vehicles from the Bharat Jodo Setu will reach this merging point uninterruptedly.

"We are not going to allow any big vehicles to take the Ajmer Elevated Road until the work is over. Vehicles from Hawa Sadak Road or Gopalbari moving towards Sodala or the 200-Feet Bypass Crossing need to travel below the elevated road," stated a traffic official.
Meanwhile, JDA has already opened the Gopalbari-bound flank of the elevated road. On Sunday evening, JDA completed the resurfacing of the stretch between Gopalbari ROB and the Ram Nagar Metro station.
Officials said normal traffic will resume on this stretch from Monday morning.
JDA engineers claimed that this is the first major restoration work for this elevated road, which was inaugurated in October 2014 as the first elevated road of Jaipur. The 4.5 km long Acharya Tulsi Setu—connecting Vidyut Nagar and the Gopalbari bus stand—is considered India's first-ever 3-level 4-lane elevated road-cum-metro track.
