NHAI to build flyovers, underpass on Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer route

22 Oct 2024 CW Team

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has announced plans to construct two new flyovers and an underpass along the heavily trafficked Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer corridor. The project, aimed at easing congestion and cutting travel time, is expected to cost over Rs 2 billion.

The Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the planned infrastructure upgrades is slated for completion by next month. Once finalised, it will be submitted to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for approval. If approved, the tendering process is expected to begin in January 2025, with the construction estimated to take around 18 months.

Congestion on the Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer route often leads to delays of up to 198 minutes during peak hours, affecting about 1.25 lakh daily travellers. The new flyovers and underpass are expected to streamline traffic, making commutes more predictable and reducing travel time significantly.

The upgrades will target critical intersections in Jaipur, such as Bhankrota and Kamala Nehru Nagar, where congestion has been particularly problematic. Construction at these junctions is already nearing completion, offering further relief to daily commuters.
