Ahmedabad's Shahi Baug Underpass Closes 7 Days for Bullet Train Work; Traffic Chaos Expected

• Ahmedabad's Shahi Baug Underpass will close from January 5 to January 12 for bullet train project work.
• Subhash Bridge and Girdharnagar Bridge are already closed, leading to increased traffic on alternative routes.
• Motorists from Airport/Gandhinagar to Shahi Baug/Delhi Darwaja/Kalupur will be diverted via Dafnala Riverfront and Shilekh Society.
• No alternative routes for rickshaws and buses, as Riverfront entry is restricted; city bus routes are also being changed.
• Residents face traffic congestion until December 2027 due to ongoing AMC bridge construction and reconstruction projects.

Why It Matters: Ahmedabad faces severe traffic disruptions for 7 days due to Shahi Baug Underpass closure, with long-term congestion until 2027.
