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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Activate Your Antivirus License Click Here Undo Meanwhile, LDA is also preparing to unveil the 'Lazeez Gali' near the historic Rumi Gate.

Janeshwar Mishra Park to give city the thrills, adventure rides
Are you looking for some adrenaline rush? If so, and provided that you live in the city, then you do not have to look far and wide, as Janeshwar Mishra Park (JMP) in Gomti Nagar may soon become your perfect getaway. Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has set the ball rolling for a 15-metre-high multi-activity tower for adventure sports near JMP's Gate 4. The facility, when in operation, is likely to offer activities such as zip-line, sky-cycling, wall climbing and bungee jumping. Also, rifle shooting, archery, roller-coaster ride, giant swing and bull ride may entice the thrill-seekers. LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar inspected the park on Wednesday and directed officials to complete the project within three months. Spread across 1.5 acres, the zone will also include two canteens and paved pathways to ensure easy access for visitors. The project aims to provide the townsfolk with more recreational options and attract tourists by turning the park into an adventure hub. Also, LDA will build a new pedestrian bridge over the water body, connecting the rose garden and the national flag area. During the inspection, Kumar noted that visitors currently face inconvenience due to the long detour. He asked for an attractive bridge design to be prepared by a consultant. Kumar also expressed dissatisfaction with poor cleanliness in the park. He reprimanded the officials concerned and summoned a report from the agency responsible. Meanwhile, to enhance the city's riverfront experience, LDA is developing a food court near Marine Drive along the Gomti Riverfront. Ten shops are being constructed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Kumar instructed that the work be completed within a month so that the food court can be opened to the public at the earliest. In addition to land-based activities, the city is also gearing up to offer water sports. LDA is conducting trial runs of jet skis, speed boats, and motor boats at the Laxman Mela site on the Gomti. During his inspection, the VC directed the agency concerned to prioritise public safety and ensure that basic facilities like a food kiosk, office/waiting area, and proper parking were made available before the launch of full operations.
