Rail India Technical and Economic Services survey: Underpasses to help Chandigarh beat traffic at 9 points
The Rail India Technical and Economic Services (RITES), after a survey, has proposed the building of underpasses at nine of Chandigarh’s 15 major junctions to ease traffic congestions and prevent vehicular flow from choking.
A presentation regarding the same was made before the UT Administartor, and other senior officials, on Thursday.
RITES is an engineering consultancy corporation, specialising in the field of transport infrastructure, under the ownership of Indian Railways.
According to details obtained by The Indian Express, at least 15 traffic junctions in the city stayed choked during peak traffic hours at present, with the situation likely to get worse in the next five years as the number of vehicles increase.
