The Jaipur–Delhi lane of the flyover at Jaipur Tiraha in Shahpura on National Highway 48 has been fully opened for traffic after the successful completion of load testing.
Following the tests, all types of vehicles—small and heavy—have started using the flyover, marking a significant milestone in the long-pending infrastructure project.
Flyover Construction Ongoing for Three Years
According to officials, construction of the flyover at Jaipur Tiraha on NH-48 had been underway for the past three years. During the construction period, the closure of the Jaipur Tiraha cut caused significant inconvenience for commuters and severely affected the business of nearby shopkeepers.
Due to increasing public anger and pressure from local representatives, officials from the National Highways Authority of India accelerated the construction work in recent weeks.
After completing the Jaipur–Delhi lane and conducting load testing, authorities have now allowed vehicles to pass through the flyover.
Relief From Traffic Congestion for Residents
With the opening of the Jaipur–Delhi lane, vehicles are now moving over the flyover instead of the service road. As a result, the service road—previously congested with traffic—now appears significantly less crowded.
Currently, buses are mainly using the road beneath the flyover.
Residents believe that the new traffic arrangement will provide major relief from frequent traffic jams in the area.
Jaipur Tiraha Cut Likely to Reopen Soon
With the lane now operational, authorities are also expected to reopen the Jaipur Tiraha cut soon, which will further ease traffic movement.
Once reopened, commuters entering the city will no longer need to take long detours, making travel more convenient.
Project Faced Delays Despite Earlier Deadlines
Earlier, the NHAI had announced that the Jaipur–Delhi lane of the flyover would be opened for traffic on February 1. Following protests and demonstrations by local residents, officials revised the timeline and set February 10 as the new deadline.
However, the lane could not be opened on the revised schedule, and traffic movement has only now begun after the completion of load testing.
The opening of the flyover lane is expected to significantly improve traffic flow on NH-48 and benefit commuters travelling between Jaipur and Delhi.
