Metro construction worsens traffic congestion on Ghaziabad’s NH-9

Traffic congestion has intensified along NH-9 in Ghaziabad due to ongoing Metro construction activity near Kanawani.

Commuters reported long delays and slow-moving traffic across the corridor during peak travel hours.

Residents and motorists said traffic bottlenecks have worsened due to construction-related diversions and narrowing of road space, reported The Navbharat Times.

Illegal bus stops and weak traffic management were also cited as contributing factors.

The stretch has become a major congestion point for daily commuters travelling between Ghaziabad and Delhi.

Residents called for stricter traffic enforcement and improved planning around construction zones.

Authorities are continuing Metro-related work in the area as part of transport expansion projects.

Traffic personnel have been deployed at some junctions to manage vehicle flow.

The development highlights increasing mobility pressure linked to large-scale urban transport construction projects.
