Ghaziabad plans redesign of 10 junctions to ease traffic

The Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) is preparing a plan to redesign 10 major traffic junctions across the city to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion.

The junctions identified for the project include Hapur Chungi, DPS to Leelawati cross-section, Madhuban Bapudham roundabout, Bunkar Mart Chowk and junctions in Raj Nagar Extension.

As part of the plan, authorities are considering construction of a 1.5 km four-lane elevated road from Raj Nagar Extension towards Kavinagar and Shastri Nagar, which will help bypass the heavily congested Hapur Chungi junction, reported The Times of India.

Officials said the proposed work is estimated to cost Rs 10 crore.

Authorities have also engaged Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) to prepare a comprehensive mobility plan for Ghaziabad.

The mobility plan will analyse traffic movement and identify infrastructure measures required to address congestion in key parts of the city.

Officials said the junction redesign and elevated road are expected to improve traffic circulation and reduce travel delays in several busy areas of Ghaziabad.
