Hi all, We all keep traveling on roads in our respective cities day in and day out. In the last decade our cities have seen immense infrastructural growth which is good but while all this is happening we as regular commuters face a lot of hardships while reaching our respective destination.
To avoid the massive traffic jams that take place due to the on-going constructions be it Metro, or connecting fly-overs in construction we all have to leave our homes early to reach on time but seldom it happens that we are able to reach on time.
During the rains or in winter season these constructions pose a major hazard for the drivers and often lead to major mishaps on the roads. Not only this, over here in Delhi the traffic is very ill-managed at several major intersections and roads due to the on-going constructions.
Today, As I was coming back from Delhi Airport I took the route of South Extension to Noida. This stretch is one pathetic route for the commuters all day long. The reason is the in-progress metro link construction.
There are several other stretches in Delhi which consume a lot of time of the driver because of this and further reduces the pleasure of driving and results in stress and fatigue.
I came across many such situations and was planning to pen down this issue over here. The roads are in pathetic condition due to the construction and the summer weather further adds to the irritation levels of the fellow motorists.
Helpless motorists just keep waiting for hours together in traffic jams and can't do anything except switching off their car's engine. I am listing below some of the major roads that are in a terrible mess due to this construction in New Delhi.
1) Mayur Vihar Phase 1: metro construction.
2) Modi Flour Mill flyover to Jamia Nagar: metro construction.
3) Ashram-New Friends Colony-Mathura Road: metro construction.
4) South Extension Part 1 and 2: metro construction.
5) RK Puram crossing: metro construction.
The above listed roads are the worst nightmare for the drivers who travel on them. Be it morning or afternoon or evening these roads remain blocked and the commuters have to make their way out some or the other way.
Here are a few pics to validate my point. The pics are of South Extension, New Delhi.
The Traffic condition at 11:30am today.
The condition of the road due to the construction has turned from bad to worse.
Not just in Delhi, I am sure most of you would have come across such pathetic traffic conditions in your cities too. Please share your experiences here.
Thanks
