Road closed for sewer repairs causes chaos

NOIDA: The Noida Authority and traffic police have closed one of the busiest arterial roads of the city following a collapsed sewer in the area. Traffic movement along the route has been diverted. Though work is expected to be completed by Monday, December 3, it has caused traffic chaos as drivers on Friday attempted to find another way around the closed road.

Starting Friday, the road between Atta Chowk near the Sector 18 Metro station and the Atta Peer crossing near Max Hospital has been temporarily closed for all traffic movement. "We had to undertake this emergency measure as the sewer pipes in the area are being fixed," said Hom Singh Yadav, chief maintenance engineer, Noida.

"We understand closing the road is causing inconvenience for a lot of people, but it is important to get this problem resolved. It is quite a complex repair, but we are working quickly so repairs can be completed as soon as possible," Yadav added. According to AK Saxena, Water and Sewer works Division-I of Noida, a pipeline in being set-up and connected under the Metro station located at Sector 18.

A meeting was held on Thursday between the Noida Authority and senior traffic police officials to chalk out a diversion plan so that commuters are put to the least inconvenience during the period of repair. SP (traffic) MP Singh has asked motorists to find alternative routes. While Singh has deployed two cops at the site, nearly 10 additional district policemen will also help in keeping traffic movement in the area smooth.

Despite all arrangements, Friday being a weekend and the affected road being parallel to one of Noida's busiest market complexes, the area was completely gridlocked with commuters stuck in traffic jams for long duration. "We have also deployed tow cranes in the area so that vehicles parked in an unauthorized manner do not cause a traffic jam," Singh said. "Commuters need to cooperate with us as this closure is only temporary," the police officer said.

Traffic coming from Sector 37 towards Sector 16 Metro station and moving towards the IOC crossing via the Atta Peer crossroads is currently being diverted. "Motorists can now take a detour by taking a left turn at the Great India Place Mall. From here they can take a U-turn under the Film City flyover and then turn left at the Center Stage Mall and reach Atta Peer," said Singh.
