Lanes, flyover key to turbulence free drive to airport

Bhopal: A drive to the airport is a long and arduous from new Bhopal. Besides long commuting time, the bottlenecks along the way and the railway crossing after Lalghati that is close after every couple of hours, further delaying commuting. The route is highly accident-prone as per the stats of last and this year.
Swaroop Agrawal, a city-based businessman and frequent flyer, says the problem starts right after the Kamla Park area where the roads narrows, throwing traffic into disarray. "The vehicles move at snail's pace as there is hardly much space on the road for vehicle to ply during peak traffic hours. The same conditions continue all the way till Iqbal Maidan, if you proceed a little further," he said.
"As you approach the VIP Road section, over-speeding is a major problem because vehicles ply at a greater speed against the designated speed limit of 50 km per hour," said traffic and transport engineering expert Sidharth Rokade, assistant professor at civil engineering department of MANIT.
