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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Truque caseiro noturno eficaz contra a papada (faça hoje mesmo) Revista & Saúde Saiba Mais Undo "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.

Traffic suspended on elevated Ajmer Road, commuters to use parallel roads
Jaipur: With traffic movement on the Gopalbari-bound flank of the elevated road on Ajmer Road suspended from Monday evening, traffic chaos is expected on Ajmer Road during peak traffic hours Tuesday morning. Commuters are advised to set out early or take parallel roads to reach their to TOI, a traffic official stated that from Monday evening, no vehicles would be allowed to take the elevated road from the 200-Feet Bypass Crossing side. Although the department will deploy additional manpower to regulate traffic movement, it is advisable to take the parallel routes if possible. "While vehicles heading towards Bais Godam, C-Scheme, or Rambagh Circle can take Ajmer Road, vehicles bound for the railway station, Hasanpura, or MI Road can take Queen's Road and then the subsequent Sirsi Road. This would reduce the additional traffic pressure on Ajmer Road," the traffic official JDA officials have stated that they are trying their best to complete the resurfacing work as early as possible to allow the flank to open for traffic movement."It would take around 20 days to complete the work. But we will definitely try our best to complete the work as early as possible to ensure minimum harassment of the motorists," stated a JDA official. Once JDA finishes work on one flank of the Acharya Tulsi Setu, the civic body will start restoration works for the other side of the elevated road."The elevated road was inaugurated in Oct 2014. In the last 11 years, there was routine maintenance of the surface of this elevated road. Now, we need to relay the surface," the JDA official added. 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.
