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.
