ALL FOR DEVP! JAIPUR TRAFFIC TO GO ‘SIGNAL- FREE’ SOON

Jaipur: Commuters will soon be able to enjoy traffic signal free drive across Jaipur. Jaipur Development Authority has begun work to get rid of the traffic jams at various intersections. JDA Commissioner Ravi Jain inspected the proposed project at B2 Bypass Square, Jawahar Circle, OTS, Chauraha, Laxmi Mandir Tiraha. He also inspected the construction work of the proposed railway over bridge at the Civil Lines Gate.

JDC Ravi Jain said that at present there is traffic load at the B2 Bypass intersection on Tonk Road. An underpass will be built here for movement of traffic between Jawahar Circle and Mansarovar. The cost of the entire project is Rs 155 crore.

A two-lane underpass and two pedestrian subways will be constructed on Tonk road from Sabzi Mandi road near Laxmi Mandir Tiraha for about 400 metres at a cost of Rs 81.25 crore. The project is slated to be completed within 18 months.

Project Consultant and famous architect Anoop Bartaria, while elaborating further on the project plans, said that hundreds of vehicles pass through various intersections on a daily basis and a lot of fuel is wasted in this entire exercise.

He added saying that with these intersections going ‘Signalfree,’ the level of pollution in the city will reduce to a significant level. Making the B2 Bypass intersection ‘Signal- free’ will save fuel worth Rs 9-10 crore annually.
