The Ghaziabad traffic police have announced traffic diversions from October 20 to November 10 on the National Highway 9 in the wake of Ganga water pipeline repair works which will be taken up by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). Traffic police officials said that the Tigri underpass area at Vijay Nagar will be out of bounds for commuters due to the work.
The officials said that all the vehicles from Noida and Greater Noida which come to Ghaziabad using the Tigri roundabout will have to use other route like the one at Shahberi to come to Ghaziabad.
“Those vehicles that want to proceed to Delhi, via Ghaziabad, from Noida and Greater Noida will have to use the underpass at the Vijay Nagar bypass and thereafter use the Delhi-Meerut Expressway to travel to Delhi. The expressway lanes will not be closed/diverted during the diversion period. No vehicle will be allowed to use the service road to move to Noida,” said Ramanand Kushwaha, superintendent of police (traffic).
