Greater Noida Implements 'Plan B' to Alleviate Traffic Issues in Shahberi

New Traffic Management Strategy in Shahberi

In response to the persistent traffic congestion in the Shahberi region of Greater Noida West, the Greater Noida Authority has introduced an alternative strategy known as 'Plan B'. This initiative has already led to the closure of six unauthorized road cuts. Additionally, efforts are underway to remove illegally constructed ramps, with survey work currently in progress. The demolition of these ramps is expected to commence shortly, aiming to significantly reduce traffic jams in Shahberi once the plan is fully executed.

Ongoing Issues with Illegal Road Cuts

Despite the progress, five illegal road cuts remain operational in Shahberi. These cuts allow vehicles to navigate against traffic, heightening the risk of accidents and complicating traffic flow. Although local residents have requested these cuts to stay open, the authority has indicated that they may also be closed if deemed necessary.

Challenges Along Shahberi Marg

The Shahberi Marg, which extends approximately 1.5 kilometers from the Iteda intersection to the crossing, has undergone widening. However, several electric poles still obstruct the roadway, contributing to traffic issues. The removal of these poles has begun, and once both the poles and illegal ramps are eliminated, it is anticipated that traffic conditions will improve significantly.

Authority's Commitment to Improvement

Prerna Singh, the Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Noida Authority, stated that the road widening connecting Ghaziabad and Greater Noida has been completed, resulting in improved traffic conditions. She assured that any remaining issues will be addressed promptly.
