NHAI metro projects to worsen Ajmer road traffic woes

20 Feb 2024 CW Team

Ongoing projects by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for metro development are anticipated to exacerbate traffic congestion issues on Ajmer Road. As per reports, local authorities and residents express apprehension regarding the potential escalation of traffic woes due to the construction activities associated with NHAI's metro initiatives.

Concerns arise as the road already grapples with existing traffic challenges, and the additional strain from metro construction is expected to further impede the smooth flow of vehicles. Residents and commuters are seeking proactive measures and planning to mitigate the impact on daily commuting, urging authorities to implement strategies that can ease congestion during the construction phase.

The NHAI projects are part of broader urban development plans, aiming to enhance public transportation infrastructure. However, the unintended consequence of increased traffic congestion raises questions about the coordination and planning of these initiatives to minimise disruption to the daily lives of the residents in the Ajmer Road area.

Efforts are underway to address the concerns, with calls for improved traffic management strategies and timely communication to keep the public informed about alternative routes and potential delays. Balancing the positive impact of metro projects with the need to manage and alleviate traffic congestion remains a critical challenge for local authorities and NHAI in the ongoing development of Ajmer Road.
