New road initiatives to reduce Mohali's traffic congestion

The Mohali district will soon have a new road network due to the increase in traffic. The district administration states that the traffic problem would be alleviated with the new roads.

The link with industrial cities is the primary goal of the new roads. For certain projects, construction has already begun and land acquisition is underway.

The NHAI, PIU-Ambala is responsible for the package-I, which departs from Ambala-IT City Chowk. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)-Chandigarh is responsible for the projects. Nevertheless, the District Revenue Officer is responsible for the land acquisition work (DRO).

The administration claims that the problem of traffic on the Kharar-Banur-Tepla section and in the Zirakpur area will be solved with the completion of these projects, since traffic from the existing piece will be diverted to the aforementioned new greenfield or brownfield roads.

The entire traffic coming from Ambala to Roopnagar-Sri Anandpur Sahib-Manali will be covered by the new proposed greenfield route.

The Zirakpur bypass will also accommodate all traffic between Mohali and Panchkula. In addition to the above, many more greenfield alignments have also been approved by the NHAI to ease long-distance traffic and ease congestion on the region's existing national highways in Mohali and Ropar districts.
