Heavy traffic congestion at Barapullah Phase‑III continues after two meetings, with the Public Works Department looking for solutions.
Heavy traffic congestion at Barapullah Phase‑III has persisted following two recent meetings between local authorities and the Public Works Department (PWD). The meetings, held on Monday and Tuesday, focused on identifying ways to alleviate the choke point that has been disrupting daily commutes for residents and commuters passing through the area. PWD officials acknowledged the severity of the issue and pledged to explore infrastructural adjustments and traffic management measures.
The congestion has led to significant delays on the main road connecting Barapullah to nearby towns, affecting both local traffic and transport of goods. Local businesses have reported disruptions, and commuters have expressed frustration over the extended travel times.
While specific solutions have not yet been finalized, PWD is reportedly considering options such as widening the road, installing additional traffic signals, and implementing temporary detour routes to ease the flow. The department has urged the public to exercise patience and follow any detour instructions issued in the coming days.
