After the Parthala Flyover char murti became jam-packed and the need for an underpass appeared
It is worth noting that although discussions have been going on for the last several years to build an underpass at Char Murti roundabout, after the opening of the Parthala flyover in Noida, the way Char Murti roundabout has become jam-packed, there is a need to build an underpass from here. The demand has increased.
Wait for the underpass is about to end
The work is expected to start soon after the tender process is completed.
The population is increasing rapidly in Greater Noida West
The population is increasing rapidly in Greater Noida West. Char Murti Chowk is the busiest intersection here. To prevent traffic jams at the intersection, U-turns have been made on both sides as a temporary option. Vehicles going from Gaur City to Surajpur or Noida pass through the U-turn on a 130-meter road. Similarly, vehicles going to Gaur City and Pratap Vihar from the 130-meter road or Surajpur side go through the U-turn towards Noida. An underpass has been proposed here as a permanent solution.
Where will the underpass pass-through
This underpass will become parallel to the 60-meter road at the Char Murti intersection. Vehicles between Pratap Vihar to Surajpur, Greater Noida will pass through this underpass. There will be no need to go till U-turn. This will save both time and fuel for the drivers. Government advisory agency RITES has prepared its design. While preparing the city’s traffic mobility plan, RITES has suggested building an underpass at Char Murti Chowk. Based on this suggestion, the authority is now going to build an underpass.
