Jagran Correspondent, Ghaziabad: The process of constructing a proposed slip road to alleviate the problem of vehicle access and access on the elevated road in Ghaziabad has accelerated. Testing of the quality of soil and construction materials has begun at the site before construction begins.

At the same time, construction work will begin after the technical inspection meets the standards. According to the GDA, the technical process for construction will be finalised based on the testing report.

The elevated road is considered the city's lifeline. The completion of the slip road is expected to bring significant relief to motorists travelling to and from Delhi, Indirapuram, and Vasundhara.

Currently, traffic jams occur due to increased vehicle pressure during the ascent and descent of the elevated road. Once the new system is implemented, traffic pressure can be distributed between different routes.

Two Ramps Will Be Ready For Commuting

Ramp-1 is proposed for vehicles coming from Delhi towards Vasundhara. It will serve vehicles heading towards Sahibabad via Vaishali. Ramp-2 will connect to the elevated road near the Kanawani Temple in Indirapuram, providing an alternative route for vehicles heading towards Delhi.

Travel Time Will Be Reduced

The construction of the slip road is expected to benefit over five lakh people. According to officials, it will reduce travel times that currently take between one and one and a quarter hours to 20 to 25 minutes. This will reduce traffic congestion and save drivers time and fuel.
