Jaipur authorities have approved the construction of a new elevated road to reduce traffic congestion in the city. The decision was made during a Public Works Committee (PWC) meeting chaired by JDC Aanndi, which sanctioned administrative and financial approvals totalling Rs 6.65 billion (£65 million) for six infrastructure projects.

The key projects include:

Spanning 4.4 km, the road will feature three ramps and is expected to be completed within two and a half years, with construction beginning early next year.

2. Sewer Line Work: Rs 782 million (£7.6 million) will be spent connecting and laying sewer lines at the Swarna Vihar residential scheme in Prithviraj Nagar South.

3. Decorative Lighting: Rs 91 million (£0.9 million) is allocated for decorative lighting on VT Road, Aravali Marg, and Madhyam Marg.

4. Sector Road Construction: Rs 82 million (£0.8 million) will fund a 30-foot sector road from Gonar Road to Ring Road.

5. Repair Work: Rs 29 million (£0.3 million) will be used to repair road cuts made by the Jaloday Department in Zone-11.

6. Roads in Colonies: Rs 32 million (£0.3 million) is allocated for constructing roads in approved colonies in Zone Seven of Sanganer.
