Construction of flyovers at the Bhankrota and Kamala Nehru Nagar intersections in Jaipur is nearing completion, with the project costing approximately Rs 200 crore. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is also working on plans to upgrade the Ajmer Road intersection to alleviate congestion. The detailed project report (DPR) for the two flyovers and an underpass at this busy intersection is expected to be finalised by next month. Once completed, it will be submitted to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for approval.
The tender process for the project is anticipated to begin in January 2025. This development aims to ease traffic for approximately 1.25 travellers who navigate this area daily. Currently, during peak hours, many commuters face significant delays, often waiting for multiple signal cycles, with some experiencing wait times of up to 198 minutes.
The improvements are expected to significantly reduce traffic jams and improve travel times for commuters on this key route between Ajmer, Jaipur, and Delhi.
NHAI Project Director Ajay Arya announced that the detailed project report (DPR) for the flyover and underpass at the busy intersection will be completed by next month. Traffic congestion is a daily issue at this location, but officials believe the new structures will provide a lasting solution.
Discussions with all relevant agencies have been conducted to ensure smooth implementation. Currently, vehicles travelling from Delhi to Bhankrota and Ajmer use an existing flyover, while traffic from Ajmer, Bagru, and Bhankrota heading to Sodalala and Purani Chungi will continue along the same route.
The project, overseen by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), is expected to cost over Rs 200 crore and will take approximately one to one and a half years to complete. A new flyover will be constructed parallel to the 200-foot culvert to facilitate traffic from Ajmer, Bagru, and Bhankrota heading toward Delhi and Sikar, stretching 1,600 meters or more.
