Repair work on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway near Ghazipur has created significant traffic congestion, leaving commuters stranded for hours. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is conducting maintenance on the Ghaziabad-to-Sarai Kale Khan carriageway, which is expected to continue until June 2026. This busy route, crucial for connecting east Delhi with neighboring cities like Noida and Ghaziabad, has seen lane restrictions that have reduced traffic to a crawl, especially during peak hours. Commuters have expressed frustration over the slow progress of repairs, with many noting that lanes have been blocked for over a month with little visible work being done. The Delhi Traffic Police have issued advisories, suggesting alternate routes like NH-24 to mitigate delays. They have also deployed traffic personnel at key intersections to help manage the flow and minimize inconvenience. However, commuters have criticized the lack of adequate planning, signage, and traffic management, leading to daily frustrations and delays.
