Karnal, November 16

To decongest traffic in the city as well as on NH-44, a mini bypass is being constructed to connect the Kunjpura road with the Indri road under the Smart City project. The construction is expected to be completed in December.

The 1.6-km road with a width of 30 ft is being constructed at a cost of around Rs 2 crore.

Once the construction is complete, the travel time between Indri and Kunjpura roads will reduce by 20-25 minutes. Besides, residents of Kailash, RK Puram and Mangalpur colonies will benefit as the mini bypass will traverse through these residential areas.

“The work on the project is in full swing,” said Nishant Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner-cum-CEO, Karnal Smart City Limited.

Colony residents are elated at the road construction, thanking the state government for it.

Mayor Renu Bala Gupta said, “The mini bypass was a long-pending demand. The district administration is thankful to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for having approved the project. The government is committed to strengthening the road network across the state.”
