Chaos reigned supreme on the roads of the city as construction work of a vehicular underpass near Zirakpur began on Thursday throwing traffic out of gear and leaving hundreds of commuters to figure out alternate routes to their diversions.
The work on the underpass is expected to continue for the next nine months, officials said, with ample traffic diversions being put in place in the meanwhile. Though the traffic police diverted the medium and heavy vehicles, including the transport buses, commuters travelling in cars and two-wheelers got stuck in the jam on the service lane of Dakshin Marg as they were not allowed to use the main road due to the ongoing construction work.
