Gridlock Alert: NMC To Concretize 9 More Roads in Nagpur
Brace Yourself for Traffic: NMC Initiates Road Concretization
Concretize-Nagpur-Roads | Nagpur Traffic: Living in Nagpur? You might be accustomed to the perpetual symphony of honking horns and bumper-to-bumper traffic. Well, gear up because there’s more to come. The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has set its sights on concretizing nine additional tar roads, a move that could stir up some serious gridlock across the city.
What’s Happening?
Chief engineer Rajiv Gaikwad, in a tête-à-tête, spilled the beans. The Phase-IV of the cement concrete project is about to kick off, encompassing a grand total of 33 roads. These roads, spread across zones like Laxmi Nagar, Dharampeth, Dhantoli, and more, are about to undergo a major facelift.
The Budget Crunch
With the state government chipping in a hefty Rs300 crore, the plan is to concretize a staggering 34.5 km of tar roads. Gaikwad revealed, “We’re looking at a timeline of four months to complete the nine roads, spanning a total length of 4.73 kilometers.”
Roadblocks Ahead
Sure, the end goal is improved infrastructure, but let’s not overlook the inconvenience this might cause. Already, 29 sections of the city are feeling the pinch due to ongoing construction works by various agencies. With the monsoon looming, the chaos might just intensify.

Fear not, fellow motorists! Gaikwad assures us that while the construction may disrupt traffic for a while, alternate routes will be made available.
The Nitty-Gritty Details
Wondering how these roads were cherry-picked? Gaikwad sheds light on the selection criteria. Roads boasting a width between 12 meters and 24 meters made the cut.
The wheels of progress are turning, albeit slowly. While Nagpur braces itself for more traffic snarls, let’s keep our eyes on the prize: smoother, sturdier roads.
1. Will my daily commute be affected?
Absolutely. Expect delays and diversions as the construction work unfolds.
2. How long will the disruptions last?
The chief engineer estimates a couple of months, so buckle up for the long haul.
3. Can I still access my destination during the construction?
Yes, alternate routes will be provided to ensure minimal disruption to your journey.
4. Is there a plan in place for emergency services?
Rest assured, arrangements will be made to prioritize emergency vehicles.
5. What’s the long-term benefit of this project?
Improved road infrastructure promises smoother and safer travels for all Nagpurians.
