“A few flyovers already exist on the congested intersections of this 10-kilometre long road. I have asked the engineers to close small cuts, remove traffic lights and plan flyovers on big intersections,” Chauhan said.

The minister added that engineers had been told to plan a flyover on the Bhajanpura crossing, which was likely to bear the load of traffic once the Signature Bridge is ready in December 2013.
