# Tengpora VUP work targets May 2027 completion, traffic hit 2026-10-27T09:47:47+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Construction of a Vehicle Underpass (VUP) at Tengpora-Mominabad Junction in Srinagar has caused traffic congestion, dust and poor road conditions on diversion routes, drawing complaints from commuters, residents and shopkeepers. In a GKTV ground report, Superintending Engineer Tatheer Manzoor of R&B Circle Srinagar South said the VUP is targeted for completion by the first week of May 2027. Project site engineer Shahid Ahmad Wani added that macadamisation of the diversion road is expected to begin in the coming days to ease some of the inconvenience. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Commuters and shopkeepers bear the cost of a project that still has over six months of construction ahead. The six-lane VUP is meant to ease a chronic bottleneck on the Srinagar ring road, but until completion, the diversion roads will remain a source of dust and delay. Neither official has specified how many lanes or what share of the traffic it will carry, leaving the scale of relief unclear. The start of macadamisation on the diversion road in the coming days is the only near-term milestone. Completion, targeted for the first week of May 2027, depends on winter weather and contractor discipline. ## Coverage - greaterkashmir.com Led with public complaints and then official targets, balancing inconvenience with update This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
