NHAI initiates underpass for vehicles at 200-feet bypass

In response to the rising number of vehicles and the expansion of Jaipur Metro Line 1 to Ajmer Road, the National Highways Development Authority of India (NHAI) is set to construct an underpass at the 200-feet bypass crossing. This crossing is deemed one of the busiest in Jaipur, necessitating measures to enhance traffic flow.

NHAI has commenced a feasibility study for the underpass's direction. According to initial plans, two options have been considered: an underpass for vehicles from the Mansarovar side heading straight to Delhi Road, and another for vehicles from Jaipur city side going towards Mahapura or Ajmer.

Ajay Arya, NHAI's project director, stated, "Once we finalise the underpass alignment, we will prepare a detailed project report (DPR) by mid-2024. The construction timeline, spanning 12-18 months, will depend on the final length of the underpass."

Officials anticipate severe traffic congestion at the 200-feet bypass over the next three to four years unless planned traffic projects are executed. In addition to the Metro extension, the state government plans to construct a bus terminal at this juncture. Buses from Ajmer, Udaipur, and the southern parts of Jaipur will terminate here instead of Sindhi Camp bus stand.

This is an integral component of our comprehensive transport system strategy, said another NHAI official, ?Passengers arriving at the terminal are expected to utilize the Metro to reach their destinations within Jaipur. However, many passengers may still opt for private vehicles and cabs, increasing traffic pressure.
