The construction work of a U-turn in front of the upscale Sector-15 A on the Dadri main road is almost complete. According to the Noida Authority, it will ease the traffic congestion in the vicinity, providing respite to people travelling towards Delhi.

According to the Authority, the construction work has amounted to an estimated Rs 35 lakh and it is expected to be open for public use by Saturday.

Union minister, Mahesh Sharma, had launched it in the presence of top officials of the Noida Authority. However, experts have opined that the move will not ease the existing problem of traffic congestion for commuters coming from Greater Noida or DND flyway, who head towards different sectors of Noida, Mayur Vihar and other areas of East Delhi.

When the U-turn will be made available to the public, the two traffic signals operating for residents of Sector-15 A, to turn right and enter their sector, will be closed.

However, daily commuters are not in favour of this U-turn, saying that it will create a bigger bottleneck for people travelling straight.

Dhiraj Kumar, a daily commuter, said, "During peak hours, this will also create a bottleneck for the people travelling straight. As the vehicles move at a fast pace on this stretch, the chances of an accident will also increase."

Further, residents of Sector 15 A would have to travel an extra kilometre to take a U-turn from the intersection between Sector- 15 A and Sector- 14 A. This intersection will then witness bigger bottleneck in peak hours as the road has not been expanded.

However, Rajesh Khanna, RWA Secretary of Sector-15 A, said that the U-turn will make it easy for people proceeding to Delhi.

TO BE OPENED ON SATURDAY

The construction work has amounted to an estimated Rs 35 lakh and it is expected to be open for public use by Saturday. Union minister, Mahesh Sharma, had launched it with other top officials.
