Trial will be started within 2 weeks. After this, traffic diversion will be applicable.
The second phase of Kanpur Metro construction is going to start. The second phase will be underground. In view of this, Kanpur Metro has prepared a route diversion plan. This will be applicable for two years. Meaning you will not be able to go by car in many areas of Kanpur. The city corporation has done its planning. For the construction of 4 underground stations, traffic will be diverted soon at Chunniganj, Naveen Market, Bada Chauraha and Nayaganj stations.
Highest traffic load
UP Metro’s Chief Project Manager-3 has written a letter to the Municipal Corporation giving complete information regarding traffic diversion. The big thing is that traffic diversion will be implemented for 2 years. Metro work in the second phase of Kanpur will be quite challenging. Along with the dense population, very old buildings are also present above. The traffic load is also the highest in these areas.
Parking will be removed from Naveen Market
Due to the metro, the parking on the road from Naveen Market to Somdutt Plaza will be removed. The UPMRC has written a letter to the municipal corporation asking for closure of parking at the earliest so that the work can start.
For the construction of the metro station, the foot overbridge at Bada Chauraha will also be removed.
Foot overbridge will be removed at Bada Chauraha
In the second phase, UPMRC is going to get construction done for the operation of metro from Harsh Nagar to Phulbagh. At the same time, the 21-year-old foot overbridge at Bada Chauraha will also be removed. So that there is no problem in the underground excavation regarding the metro. The foot overbridge was built for pedestrians to cross the road at Bada Chauraha. Few people use it.
trial will happen soon
DCP Traffic BGGTS Murthy told that a proposal has come from the metro side regarding route diversion. This is being discussed. Trial will be started on this within 2 weeks and it will be seen that people do not face any problem and the traffic continues smoothly.
