Plan to decongest traffic at Akshardham cleared

NEW DELHI: The frequent traffic jams that one encounters on National Highway 24, en route Ghazipur, will hopefully end soon. The public works department has finally cleared a traffic decongestion plan that includes widening of a slip road and construction of a footbridge, and work is expected to start shortly.

Officials said long traffic jams are witnessed in the area, especially during peak hours, due to a zebra crossing less than 100m from the Akshardham bridge on the Ghazipur side. A loop on the left, that connects NH-24 to the Akshardham flyover in the direction of Noida, slows down traffic even further.

"The six-lane road from the Nizamuddin Bridge narrows down to three lanes as NH-24 enters east Delhi, slowing down traffic. There is also significant pedestrian movement in this area and a zebra crossing has been made here. However, the traffic flow on this road is massive and a stop of even 90 seconds leads to a long pile up. To ease this, a footbridge has been planned. In fact, construction has already started," a source said.

Making matters worse at this point, a slip road coming from the ITO side opens barely a few metres before the traffic signal. "This road will also have to be widened since there is significant traffic movement from the Akshardham temple side towards Ghazipur. This road is presently extremely narrow and leads to a bottleneck," said an official.

To make way for this road, the Samaspur Jagir bus stop and a toilet block near it will have to be relocated. The three-lane carriageway will subsequently be expanded to a five-lane road. Work on it has already started and permission from the forest department to clear some trees on this stretch has been sought.
