JLN Marg Elevated Road Plan Scrapped

The Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has decided to cancel the JLN Marg elevated road project, which had been outlined in the state budget this year. The authority is now focusing on developing Tonk Road into a three-tiered transport system to ease traffic congestion in the city.

JDA officials revealed that the decision followed a directive from Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma during a review meeting on November 29. The CM urged the Urban Development and Housing (UDH) Department to reassess the elevated road project, taking into consideration the aesthetic appeal of JLN Marg.

"Given the Chief Minister's concerns about the proposed elevated road from Ambedkar Circle to Jawahar Circle, passing through the JDA Circle, it seems the project has no future. We are now planning an elevated road along Tonk Road and a three-tier transport system," said a JDA official.

The revised plan involves constructing an elevated road starting from the MI Road crossing at Yadgaar, near the Traffic Police headquarters, and continuing to the B2B Crossing on Tonk Road.

"If the plan proceeds as expected, the city could see the removal of older flyovers at Gopalpura and Durgapura crossings on Tonk Road, along with the Tonk Puliya, the oldest flyover in the city. JDA will soon issue a tender to prepare the feasibility report for this project," the official added.
