Incomplete flyover
Flyovers across the city have significantly eased traffic congestion in recent years. But the Moghbazar-Mouchack flyover construction has turned extremely irksome.
Planned for completion by 2014, the Rampura to Shantinagar wing is only 47 percent complete. It’s supposed to be wrapped up by December this year, but similar promises have often produced no result in the past, with project costs going up with each extension of the deadline.
Construction materials continue to occupy the streets. The 10-15 minute journey from Shantinagar to Rampura Bridge now takes an hour, and the vehicle congestion is inconvenient to commuters. We urge the authorities to complete these projects as soon as possible.
