Ludhiana: Bharat Nagar-Samrala Chowk link road commuters’ nightmare
The link road, which connects two major areas of the city — Bharat Nagar Chowk and Samrala Chowk — is riddled with potholes at several locations and is crying for attention. Damaged expansion joints on various flyovers on a stretch located between the bus stand and Cheema Chowk are also in a state of neglect for the past several years, increasing the woes of commuters.
A road portion outside the ESIC Hospital near the Bharat Nagar Chowk is also badly broken, forcing motorists to face a lot of inconvenience. The menace of traffic jams has intensified in the region because of the Elevated Road project work which is underway. Even when the project work continues, the Link Road outside the hospital, which is in a pretty bad shape, has still not been repaired. There is no relief in sight from the broken road portions near the city’s main bus stand as well.
