Ghaziabad: Beyond the limit for traffic to the national capital since the last week of November 2020, Delhi-Meerut Expressway is ready to return to Normycy on Thursday morning with the last batch protesting farmers who departed and the police began to dismantle multi-barricades.
An Indian National Highway Authority (NHAI) told Ti on Wednesday night the higher the part of Delhi-Meerut Expressway and NH-9 on the border of the ghazipur will be open to regular traffic at midnight.
“We send officials to the place below who the barikade guidance has been removed from the high part,” said Arvind Kumar, an NHAI official.
“We immediately started cleaning the places of large stones and dust.
Ghaziabad to the DME side will be opened for traffic around midnight,” Kumar added.
However, it will take longer for traffic to continue the NH-9 line under the flyover, which is closed for Delhi Inbound and Outbound traffic.
This Lanes is the main access point for traffic that comes in and out of Vaishali, which has taken a detour and faces the burden of interference caused by agitation.
DCP (East) Priyanka Kashyap said Delhi police were in the process of removing barricades on both sides of NH9.
“The process of removing barricades in DME and NH9 is ongoing, and on Thursday morning or even before that, we will try to remove all the barricades, both in Delhi to Ghaziabad and Ghaziabad to the side of Delhi NH9,” he said.
Meanwhile Ghaziabad police, began to remove barricades near Khoda.
“Barrikada is placed to limit the vehicle to the top of the gate.
They are being removed and we have placed personnel to guide commuter to the DME part that they have not used for a year,” said Ramanand Kushwaha, Traffic SP.
Nirmalendu Mishra, a daily resident of Indirapuram and commuter to Tilak Nagar Delhi where he runs the hotel, said, “This is the end of a trial, I think, take all the detour.
Maybe from Thursday, we can start using DME to reach Delhi.
This is Will help save a lot of time.
