A northbound ramp descending from the newly constructed flyover over the M1 Motorway will be added. According to Mr Gunness, one of the key benefits of this project is that it will offer an alternative route to the M1 Motorway and the eastern regions from the Ebene Cybercity area. This development is expected to reduce traffic congestion and significantly enhance the overall driving experience in the region, he added.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section
