With the increasing growth of traffic over the last
decade, the existing road configuration from Vacoas up to Palmerstone junction
and Jumbo roundabout are subjected to chronic traffic congestion. Besides, with
the implementation of the Metro Express project, only one lane will be
available for traffic. And this will lead to even more congestion, increase in
travel time.
The flyover will help in
alleviating the chronic traffic congestion from Vacoas up to Palmerstone
junction and Jumbo roundabout and enable a better interface of
the road network with the Metro Express Project.
