The block will be effective from the midnight of 8th May.
NCR PRO Amit Malviya says that “As per the consent of the District Magistrate of Prayagraj, both the ways of Railway Under Bridge No. 38 (Niranjan Bridge) near Suraj Kund Police Chowki will be temporarily closed for 100 days from May 9. The block will be effective from the midnight of May 8, ”Due to the traffic block, passengers will not be able to use both the lanes passing under the Niranjan bridge for the next 100 days.
Big challenge for residents of Sangam city for three months
The closure of the route is expected to significantly increase the traffic load on alternate routes between Civil Lines and Old City areas, much of which will be diverted to the Allahabad High Court-Pani-ki-Tank flyover and Rambagh flyover. However, even when there were three routes connecting the old city areas to the civil lines, traffic jams were a regular thing on them. Now the next three months are expected to be a big challenge for the residents of Sangam town, especially during school closing time in the afternoon and in the evening when the offices close for the day.
