Concretisation work chokes GorakshanT-point; Petrol Pump Queues Worsen Bottleneck Nagpur: Ongoing road concretisation and cycle track work at the busy Gorakshan T-point has triggered severe traffic congestion, crippling movement near the start of the Gowari flyover. The public works department (PWD) has restricted traffic to a single operational lane by closing one lane on each side, sharply reducing road capacity at the crucial junction. The situation has been compounded by long queues of vehicles outside a petrol pump near Gorakshan temple, with cars often spilling onto the main road and intensifying the bottleneck. Commuters reported long delays and near standstill conditions, particularly during peak hours. "I've been stuck in this queue for 45 minutes. I don't even have enough fuel to reach pumps on the outskirts," said Jignesh Patidar, who needed to travel to his farm near Khindsi. The congestion has also disrupted daily routines of office-goers and professionals who rely on the stretch. "The flyover is a lifeline for those heading beyond Zero Mile. But for those of us working in Dhantoli and Sitabuldi, it has become a daily ordeal," said Dr Akhilesh Navghare, who runs a clinic in Dhantoli. "The work has been taken up from both sides, squeezing traffic flow," he added. Residents and commuters have raised concerns over the execution of the high-value project, alleging poor planning and lack of traffic management measures. "Rahate Colony to Variety Square is always a high-traffic stretch. Carrying out such a large project without proper planning shows a lack of empathy for citizens," said tuition teacher Kavita Raut. The project is being implemented in phases and covers two major stretches. The 2.#nagpur #public_works_department #gorakshan_tpoint #petrol_pump #gowari_flyover
