2 Flyovers to come up on Chandigarh Delhi Highway Zirakpur

The two flyovers in Zirakpur, planned over a distance of about 1.5 km, will come up from Best Price till Ghaggar bridge

• 2 Flyover to be constructed.
• 1st starting from Walmart Best Price till PR7 Light Point.
• 2nd starting from Mcdonalds till Ghaggar bridge.
• New light point to be at PR7 intersection.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to begin the construction of two flyovers to decongest traffic on the Zirakpur-Ambala highway. The two flyovers, planned over a distance of about 1.5 km, will come up near the Best Price store-Singhpura chowk and the other a little ahead of the McDonald light points on the ring road before the Ghaggar bridge.

Officials of the NHAI said the project had a time frame of 18 months and its cost would be about Rs40 crore. The connectivity of Mohali-Panchkula road would require alterations but that project would be undertaken separately. At present, two major encroachments and 50 minor encroachments on the 1.5-km have been identified which will be removed, the officials said.

With a vehicular underpass under construction near the Chandigarh-Zirakpur border and two upcoming flyovers in Zirakpur till the Ghaggar bridge, it will be a sort of rollercoaster ride for the commuters. But officials said the movement of traffic would remain smooth. “Given the limitations of the thickly populated area, the frequent ascent and descent are hard to overcome but our main motive is to decongest the traffic in the area,” said the officials.
