Prayagraj: Commuter to Phaphamau, Pratapgarh, Lucknow, Sultanpur or Ayodhya and thus across the Phaphamau Bridge over Ganga must travel about 20 extra kilometers from September 1 because the Phaphamau Bridge will be closed for a month because of the big repair work to be carried out on the bridge by the Department of Work General.
For the whole duration the following month, the traffic will be diverted to the vehicle to or enter the city from the Lucknow side.
In this case, a detailed plan has been sent to PWD by the traffic police.
As planned, light and a small vehicle coming from the side of Rae Bareli will come from Phaphamau Bazar through Tharwai-Garapur, Sahson, Andawa, Jhunsi and finally entered the city.
However, large and heavy vehicles come on this route, will leave Nawabganj to Bypass Prayagraj (Delhi-Varanasi-Howrah Highway) through Sesson-Andawa-Jhunsi and then enter the city.
Likewise, the vehicle that comes towards Teliagaranj and Govindpur intersections will be transferred towards the Upttron intersection and through Overbridge Railway (towards the Shivkuti Police Station) from which traffic will be transferred to Bank Road-GT Jawahar through Jhunsi.
Form here, the vehicle can go to Rae Bareli and Pratapgarh.
The vehicle arriving at the MNNIT crossing will also be sent on the same route.
The highway bus and all heavy vehicles will be diverted from the intersection of the public service commission and will move towards Varanasi-Jaunpur-Pratapgarh-Rae Bareli through the Indian Press-GT Jawahar-Jhunsi.
Similarly, from the civil pathway, the intersection of the Hanuman Temple and Bus Stand, all medium, small and all other vehicles will go to Rae Bareli-Lucknow, Pratapgarh-Varanasi through a medical intersection – Harshvardhan Chauraha-Jhunsi.
Under the proposed plan, traffic must be closed from September 1 to 30 because of repair work.
The authorities rising the Roadways Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) have also announced a fair increase for various purposes involving changing the way to change the bus through a distant route after the transfer is applied.
