Brace for traffic snarls on Ajmer Rd for next fortnight

Jaipur: Brace for traffic snarls on Ajmer Road for the next fortnight as the Gopalbari-bound flank of the elevated road on Ajmer Road will remain closed for at least the next fortnight. "We are going to relay the surface of the elevated road on Ajmer Road – officially known as the Acharya Tulsi Setu. In the first phase, we are going to repair the Gopalbari-bound flank of the elevated road. It will take at least 15-20 days to complete the work," said a senior engineer of there won't be any restrictions on the Railway Over bridge (RoB) in Gopalbari, where the flank of the elevated road ends. Vehicles coming from the Jacob Road crossing of the Ajmer Road can use this RoB to reach the Gopalbadi-side. To facilitate this maintenance work, traffic movement on the Gopalbari-bound flank will remain suspended from 9 pm on Monday until the work is completed. This means traffic coming from the 200-Feet Bypass Crossing side won't be allowed to take this elevated road during this period."Traffic coming from the 200-Feet Bypass crossing or from the Vaishali Nagar side will have to travel by the Ajmer Road below this elevated road for the next 15 to 20 days. We have made an elaborate diversion plan and will deploy additional force on Ajmer Road during this period. Hopefully, traffic movement on Ajmer Road will remain smooth despite these additional vehicles," DCP Traffic Shaheen C told engineers claimed that this will be the first major restoration work for this elevated road, which was inaugurated in October 2014 as the first elevated road of Jaipur. "A few stretches of this elevated road have deteriorated in the last 11 years and need to be completely restored. Rainwater from the metro tracks over this elevated road has made things worse over the years," an official 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.
