The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has unveiled plans to construct two new flyovers and an underpass along the Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer route, media reports have said. The project is expected to cost over Rs 200 crore.
This initiative aims to alleviate traffic congestion and significantly cut down travel time.
The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the two flyovers and an underpass at this busy intersection is expected to be finalised by next month. Upon completion, it will be submitted to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for approval.
If approved, the project is anticipated to move forward swiftly, with tenders expected to be issued in January 2025. It is expected that the construction of these flyovers and underpass will take about one and a half years to complete. The NHAI is working closely with several agencies to meet the timeline.
Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer route
The congestion on the crucial Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer route can cause delays of up to 198 minutes during peak hours. This development aims to ease traffic for approximately 1.25 lakh travelers who pass through this area each day.
The new flyovers and underpass are designed to significantly reduce delays, making travel faster and more predictable for thousands of daily commuters.
Once completed, the project will improve traffic flow on key sections, particularly at Jaipur’s Bhankrota and Kamala Nehru Nagar intersections, where congestion is especially severe.
