Lucknow Traffic Changes for Ambedkar Jayanti Celebrations A significant overhaul of traffic arrangements has been implemented in Lucknow to accommodate the celebrations marking Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Jayanti. The city’s traffic management authorities have announced that several roads surrounding the Ambedkar Memorial will be closed to vehicular movement starting at 9:00 AM on the day of the event, which coincides with the anniversary of the constitution drafter’s birth. The changes are expected to remain in effect until the conclusion of the festivities. The decision to alter traffic patterns follows the announcement of multiple public events at the Ambedkar Memorial, including cultural performances, processions, and commemorative ceremonies. To ensure the safety of participants and spectators, the police have imposed restrictions on access to key thoroughfares leading to the memorial. According to a statement by traffic police chief Ravi Tyagi, the closures will apply to specific intersections, including Gandhi Bridge, Samata Chowk, Ambeydakar Udyan Chowk, and Taj Underpass. Vehicles attempting to approach the memorial from these points will be redirected via alternative routes. The restrictions will affect all private vehicles, though emergency services such as ambulances, fire trucks, and school buses will be permitted to use restricted routes under special authorization. Residents and commuters are advised to consult the traffic control helpline at 9454405155 for real-time updates on detours. The police have also outlined specific guidelines for drivers, including alternative paths that will remain open for traffic. For instance, vehicles can access the memorial via Samata Chowk, Digdigha Chowk, or the Bhagidari Bhavan, with designated entry points at Janeshwar Mishra Park Gate No. 6.#lucknow #dr_b_r_ambedkar_jayanti #ambedkar_memorial #traffic_police #ravi_tyagi
