Makeover of KGMU, Daliganj intersections to ease traffic
Lucknow: Commuters traversing through Daliganj trisection and Medical College Crossing will get relief from daily traffic snarls as LDA has initiated a remodelling project to ease congestion.
The redesign will focus on reducing the diameter of existing rotaries. The central islands and road dividers will be restructured, and traffic islands will be modified. In addition, road markings and signboards will be installed to guide motorists. The estimated cost of Daliganj Tiraha project is Rs 87 lakh and Rs 72 lakh for Medical College crossing. LDA VC Prathamesh Kumar on Wednesday conducted an on-site inspection and directed officials to complete the work by Sep.
Kumar said: "These junctions witness heavy peak-hour traffic, causing daily inconvenience. Surveys showed large rotaries were worsening flow. We're reducing their size and widening medians to improve circulation, cut wait times, and ensure smoother movement without affecting the area's heritage aesthetics."
He emphasised the importance of inter-departmental coordination between traffic, power, and surveillance departments to ensure timely shifting of traffic signals, electric poles and CCTV infrastructure.

"It will offer a unique culinary experience to locals and tourists alike. The goal is to create a lively, hygienic and culturally vibrant space without disturbing the historical integrity of the location," said Kumar.
