Chandigarh Municipal Corporation Announces Temporary Road Closure on Vikas Marg
The Municipal Corporation (MC) of Chandigarh has officially declared a temporary road closure on Vikas Marg to enable critical infrastructure upgrades. This closure is essential to facilitate ongoing construction work aimed at strengthening the city's tertiary treated (TT) water supply system. Additionally, the project involves laying new pipelines in specific areas that were previously omitted from the network.
Closure Details and Duration
The affected stretch of Vikas Marg will be completely closed to all vehicular traffic from 10:00 AM on February 7 until 10:00 PM on February 8. This 36-hour closure is necessary to connect a new pipeline on the dividing road situated between Sectors 52/53 and 53/54. The MC has emphasized that this work is a crucial step in enhancing the reliability and efficiency of Chandigarh's water distribution infrastructure.
Impact on Commuters and Alternative Routes
In light of this closure, the Municipal Corporation has strongly advised all commuters, including daily travelers and residents, to plan their journeys accordingly. To minimize disruption, the MC recommends using alternative routes during the specified period. While specific alternative paths have not been detailed in the announcement, commuters are encouraged to stay updated through local traffic advisories and official MC communications.
This proactive measure underscores the MC's commitment to improving urban utilities and ensuring long-term water security for Chandigarh's growing population. Residents are urged to cooperate with the authorities and adhere to the traffic diversions to ensure the smooth execution of this vital public works project.
