The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has announced plans to build two new flyovers and an underpass along the busy Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer corridor. The project, aimed at easing congestion and reducing travel time, is expected to cost over Rs 2 billion.

The detailed project report (DPR) for the planned infrastructure upgrades is scheduled to be ready next month. Once finalised, it will be submitted to the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways for approval. If approved, the tender process is expected to begin in January 2025, with construction expected to take around 18 months.

Congestion on the Delhi-Jaipur-Ajmer route often leads to delays of up to 198 minutes during peak hours, affecting around 1.25 lakh daily travellers. The new flyovers and underpass are expected to streamline the traffic, making commutes more predictable and significantly reducing travel time.

The upgrades focus on critical junctions in Jaipur such as Bhankrota and Kamala Nehru Nagar where congestion is particularly problematic. Construction at these junctions is almost complete, providing further relief to daily commuters.
