With the vehicular density at its highest, traffic in Lucknow is currently at its worst. The long jams and the never-ending roadblocks make everyday life difficult for the people of the city. Commuting becomes a nightmare especially during rush hours when most of the city is on the roads, either trying to head to work or away from it. To curb this perpetual issue in the city, the civic authorities are set to unveil a number of infrastructure projects this year.
Lucknow is expected get 3 new flyovers to curb traffic in the old city and several other infrastructure projects, which will come to fruition by the end of the year.
