Lucknow: To ease traffic congestion at the Nishatganj intersection on Green Corridor, Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) will construct a 450-metre-long flyover at an estimated cost of Rs 81 crore. The work is expected to begin in two months, and the project is scheduled for completion within a year.The flyover will connect the Gomti Nagar side with Hanuman Setu. Though Green Corridor stretch between Samta Mulak Chauraha and Daliganj was inaugurated on March 13, traffic movement at the Nishatganj intersection has remained slow due to congestion.To address the problem, LDA commissioned a traffic survey by a private company, which recommended an elevated flyover to ensure smoother vehicle movement. The authority has decided to move forward with the proposal, which will be sent to the state govt for final approval.LDA is also examining the possibility of constructing another flyover near Pakka Pul, connecting the point where the new Green Corridor flyover descends with Kudiyan Ghat. The proposed link could provide direct access to the road leading towards Basant Kunj.However, the proposal is in the planning stage, and no final decision has been made. The survey found that sufficient space is available near the intersection, but the boundary of an existing site would need to be shifted to accommodate the structure.LDA VC Prathmesh Kumar said, “To ease congestion at key intersections, the authority is exploring options to improve traffic movement. A survey has been conducted, and flyovers or other measures will be considered based on its findings. The aim is to make commuting easier.”
