The Story in Brief
GMADA had targeted August for completing the dumbbell-shaped roundabout near Gurdwara Singh Shaheedan in Mohali, but officials now say the work will take more than another month. Three traffic infrastructure projects on Airport Road meant to ease congestion are instead creating bottlenecks due to construction delays, inadequate signage, poor pedestrian facilities, and a lack of traffic marshals.
Motorists struggle with confusing diversions and sudden lane changes. Construction material narrows the road, and waterlogging has submerged a pedestrian passage near Mohali Tower. Road safety experts say traffic management during construction cannot be overlooked.
The Indian Opinion
GMADA blames rain for delays, but that ignores weeks of poor signage and missing marshals. The pedestrian crossing near Mohali Tower is already deteriorating before completion. Safety should not wait for good weather. Will GMADA deploy traffic marshals during peak hours as experts demand?
