The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is poised to usher in a new era of connectivity and convenience for commuters traversing the bustling Jaipur-Ajmer corridor, as it gears up to inaugurate three new highways and four flyovers in the coming months.
The impending launch of these infrastructure projects is anticipated to alleviate the longstanding congestion woes plaguing motorists navigating the Jaipur-Kishangarh stretch of the Ajmer Expressway, colloquially referred to as National Highway 8. These developments underscore NHAI’s commitment to enhancing transportation efficiency and bolstering regional connectivity. According to NHAI officials, the three new highways scheduled for unveiling by the end of April promise to offer a smoother and more streamlined journey for commuters shuttling between Jaipur and Ajmer. Additionally, the imminent opening of four flyovers along the Jaipur-Kishangarh stretch is slated to further alleviate traffic bottlenecks and enhance roadway safety.
Speaking on the progress of ongoing projects, NHAI authorities have indicated significant headway in the construction of the Kamla Nehru Nagar crossing flyover, with the Ajmer-bound flank nearing completion. With expectations of operationalising these five flyovers between late June and mid-July, NHAI aims to substantially reduce travel time between Ajmer and Jaipur, facilitating a seamless two-hour commute between the 200-feet Bypass Crossing and Ajmer. Elucidating on the project’s timeline and challenges faced, NHAI officials highlighted the inception of these endeavours two years ago, with construction commencing in January 2023. However, temporary halts in construction due to traffic congestions impeded progress, resulting in delays in project completion.
Looking towards the future, NHAI has outlined plans for the construction of an additional flyover at Bhankrota crossing, alongside the commencement of cloverleaf construction at Mahapura. These strategic initiatives aim to optimise traffic flow and streamline entry and exit points onto the southern Ring Road from the expressway, further enhancing regional connectivity and commuter convenience. As NHAI continues to spearhead infrastructure development initiatives across the country, the imminent inauguration of highways and flyovers on the Jaipur-Ajmer route heralds a significant milestone in the nation’s quest for enhanced transportation infrastructure and connectivity.
