What’s inside:
This article gives updates on traffic changes in Patna due to Metro construction, including road closures and alternative routes.
Big news for Patna residents! There are some important changes happening in the traffic rules in the city. Starting today, certain roads will be closed for vehicle movement. This will last until January 25, so it’s better to check the traffic rules before heading out.
These changes are mainly because of the ongoing Patna Metro project. Specifically, from January 3 to January 25, vehicles will not be allowed on Canal Road from Ruspur flyover to Digha flyover. This is to ensure safety and smooth work for the underground tunnel construction.
The restrictions are in place from 9 AM to 2 PM daily. During these hours, vehicles cannot use this route as work is being done to shift electricity lines and build the underground tunnels. While traffic will be stopped from Rupaspur Canal towards Patliputra station, vehicles coming from Digha side will still be able to move normally.
As the construction progresses, there will be more closures. In the second phase, vehicles will not be allowed from Patliputra station to Digha flyover. However, you can use alternative routes like Bailey Road to reach Patliputra station without any hassle.
On another note, the construction of metro stations is well underway. The underground metro will stretch about 10.54 kilometers and will have several stations including Patna Junction and Rukanpura. The Khemnichak station is almost ready and might open by the end of January.
Summary:
- Traffic changes in Patna due to Metro construction.
- Roads closed from January 3 to January 25.
- Restrictions apply from 9 AM to 2 PM.
- Alternative routes available for commuters.
- Khemnichak metro station likely to open soon.
