Jayadev Vihar Nandankanan Road To Mirror Chandigarh Model

24 Feb 2026 CW Team

The corridor connects the Jayadev Vihar square to the Nandankanan area and carries heavy daily traffic including office commuters, institutional movements and vehicles heading to the northern outskirts. Rapid urban expansion along the route combined with commercial and residential development has led to frequent congestion during peak hours. Officials have said that separating long distance and local traffic will reduce intersection conflicts and improve travel time.

Under the proposed scheme long distance and fast moving vehicles will use the main carriageway while local traffic and access to markets will be routed through service lanes alongside. The department has planned five point five metre wide service lanes on both sides of the main road that has a length of around 17.5 kilometre (km) and seven point five metre wide slip roads with an approximate length of nine km. Officials have indicated that such segregation of traffic streams will enhance safety and reduce delays.

The minister said the tender process for the project is expected to be completed by February 25 which would put the plan on a fast track. The announcement followed the foundation stone laying for an elevated corridor between Jayadev Vihar and Nandankanan and a separate foundation laid last month by the chief minister for a Rs 9520 million (mn) project to be developed by OBCC Ltd. The Works Department will monitor implementation and adjust designs to local conditions as required.

The Works Department has proposed redesigning the Jayadev Vihar to Nandankanan road on the lines of Chandigarh's road planning to ease mounting traffic on one of the city’s busiest corridors. The minister for Works, Prithiviraj Harichandan, studied Chandigarh's traffic management and concluded that integration with a ring road network keeps arterial roads largely congestion free. The redesign will provide a central high-capacity carriageway for through traffic and dedicated service roads on either side for local commuters.
