What’s inside:
This article provides an update on the traffic situation on National Highway 19 in Rohtas district after a long jam.
There’s some good news for travelers! After a long five days of being stuck in a 40-km jam on National Highway 19, things are finally starting to improve. This jam, which affected the Delhi-Kolkata route, began last Saturday and has been a major headache for everyone.
The traffic jam stretched all the way from Rohtas district into Aurangabad, causing huge delays. In fact, many vehicles could only move about five kilometers in a full 24 hours. Thousands of trucks and cars were stuck, leading to a complete halt on this busy highway.
Thanks to efforts from road construction teams, the situation is getting better. On Wednesday, traffic started to flow more normally after work to clear the road was done. Many drivers who had been trapped in the jam for days were relieved to finally see movement.
According to the local NHAI project director, vehicles were being diverted to underpasses and service roads during construction work, but heavy rains last Saturday made things worse. The good news is that traffic has returned to normal on the highway now, although there are still some slow spots due to more vehicles on the road.
Looking ahead, all the flyovers and underpasses in the district are expected to be finished by November. This will likely help prevent such jams in the future, making travel easier for everyone using this important highway.
Summary:
- Traffic on NH-19 is improving after a long jam.
- The jam affected both Rohtas and Aurangabad districts.
- Road clearing efforts have allowed traffic to flow more normally.
- Normal traffic has returned, though some slow spots remain.
- Construction work on flyovers and underpasses will be done by November.
